Panic/Anxiety: I understand your distress. Ativan dose taken by you does not seem adequate for constant panic. For “constant panic for two weeks” and chest burn indicate the need to go to ER for complete Diagnosis, and based upon that Treatment including Medication with right dose, Therapy and Breathing Relaxation.

Panic using: medication alone is not the complete answer. Please see your doc to rule out thyroid or other hormonal issues. Then seek the help of a mental health professional to learn ways to cope such as clinical hypnosis, psychotherapy, etc. Others have gotten better. Peace and good health.
