I agree meds are good when you are in the acute phase, but it is important to learn why this is happening...what is happening etc.
I went through some seriously bad shit for about a year due to panic attacks...in and out of emergency rooms hospitals etc...anyway I was prescribed buspar and this was a life saver...however as soon as I could I got off of it.
I have had only a few serious panic attacks since then, but I've learned to know what's happening...why it's happening.
Lack of sleep, poor diet, no exercise, no socializing a lot of these things can trigger panic attacks...you just have to adjust your life and learn to live with them..because I don't think they truly ever go away.
I still have them, just small ones that last minutes instead of whole days.
Usually I'll just stop what it is I'm doing..maybe turn on some music...go lie down and take a nap, grab the family and talk them into going out shopping etc.
Good luck.
