How to stop panic attacks instantly? i have tried all ssri, snri, tricyclic, benzos, antipsychotics, counselling, cbt, erp, etc. but no help. can i try alcohol lastly? please provide a solution as it is leading me to severe disability/paralysis?

The magic pill seems elusive. I would find a life coach/therapist to teach you stress reduction & relaxation skills. Along the way you can learn the triggers to your issues & how to avoid them. Do the work and life can be better & often free from side effects the drugs bring.

I have severe anxiety. I came off ssri's due to side effects and am waiting for cbt. I take valium rarely only for panic. What other drugs could help?
