Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Anxiety attacks are best treated long-term with an SSRI antidepressant such as escitalopram or sertraline. They can be treated in the short-term with lorazepam or even higher doses of gabapentin. You can also be treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I offer text-based CBT on this website via questions at my private link below. With these treatments, you will feel better.
