What Is The Treatment For Panic Attack?

Hi, Im Tyler and Im 18 and have had panic attacks since I was in 7th grade. My mother had them when she was pregnant with me. Over the years my panic attacks have gotten worse and worse. My freshman year was the worst and I wasn t able to leave home due to a 2 day long panic attack. I have attended a pyschologist and a psychiatrist for my problem and they have gotten better, but I think that is from staying away from the primary areas where I had panic attacks in the past. My panic attacks make me deathly afraid of thinking about places that are far away, heights, and going into wide open areas. They started acting up again, badly, when I went into a huge recreation center that was wide open. Now they are happening again regularly, especially at night. I am on citalopram and clonazepam and have tried exposure therapy, but I cannot get these panic attacks to at least turn to something smaller that I can handle. Any clue on what I can do?
