How Can Severe Panic Attacks And PTSD Be Treated?

My Dr. told me I suffer from PTSD from loosing my 16 yr. old daughter in 1997. And now he is treating me for panic attacks. And it just keeps getting worse. I panic so bad when in a car. I will only go just around my house when I need to go somewhere cause I panic so bad with my husband. I don t drive cause I have GUILLAN BARRE . This is really getting worse to where I don t want to go anywhere cause I panic so bad.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
hello there, for treatment of PTSD and panic attacks SSRI group of medicines are preferred. You can take tab clonazepam 0.5mg during acute panic attack. Peroxetine is considered a good drug for the treatment of panic disorder and PTSD. So I would suggest you to consult a psychiatrist and get opinion on this.
