Dear User, Thanks for using health care magic. From the available description it appears that you are suffering with night terrors and the symptoms of this do not match with panic disorder. Night terrors are generally treated with benzodiazepines and zolpidem is not a good option in both panic disorder and night terrors. Meet a psychiatrist in your city to get the proper diagnosis and reason for these episodes. He may order sleep study to know exact picture. Once it is diagnosed it is easily treatable with anxiolytic drugs.. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help . Thanks
