Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for choosing HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your problem. You have complaints of anxiety and panic attacks and you are using the tablets since two years.

Before proceeding to discussion I would like to know few details about your condition-

- What were your main presenting symptoms for which you consulted a psychiatrist?

- May I know the medicine you are using? please write the name of medicine so that I can comment on its alternative drug.

- Whether you are taking the medicine daily on regular basis since two years?

- Have you visited your psychiatrist in that 2 year period or continued to take medicine by your own?

- If you stop taking medicine, what are the symptoms that develop?

Please provide the details in follow up question so that we can proceed further.

Thanks
