I have dealt with panic disorder for over 30 years now. I have had it under control for the last 10 of those 30 years.

Its a real disorder and unless you have experienced it you won't understand.

Over the years I have learned to realize its a panic attack and taught myself to ride it out. It can only last for so long as the body doesn't like to be in that state for to long. It wears down within 30 minutes and the panic usually fades.

The problem is without help (psychological or medical) panic attacks will cascade and become more numerous leading to depression, agoraphobia etc.

Xanax causes rebound panic attacks as it doesn't stay in the system long. Klonopin on the hand is longer lasting and keeps you level if you have to go the drug route.
