Anticipation of pain: Often, panic attacks result from anticipation of panic attacks. It is a terrible vicious spiral of anticipation of pain or a panic attack, which then results in a panic attack. Ssris like zoloft, prozac, celexa, or Lexapro (escitalopram) can be helpful in treatment of panic disorder, as well as psychotherapy for anxiety disorders.
