Is There A Cure For Panic And Anxiety Attacks?

My family MD has retired after caring for me since i was 21 of age. I am now 47. I was dx with Depression and Panic disorder in my mid 30 s. I have a new MD now in which she has told me my current medications I have been taking for over 12yr is no longer safe. However my panic disorder is manageable even though at times I still have a Panic attack without warning. I currently take Prozac 40mg a day and Xanax 2mg 3 times a day. I was extensively elevated by a psychiatry MD and Dx which was in my early 30 s after all medical problems had been ruled out as a root cause of my symptoms. My current MD states I could have seizures, possible heart attach by taking off current medications and I should never have been on Xanax and at the dose I take to manage my panic.????? I suffer from heart palpations in or close to 200, feel like i can t breath, maybe having heart problems, server tremors/shaking of my whole body, feel dizzy, I feel disconnected and sense of going just crazy, impeding dread I just feel like I will die at any moment. They last sometimes between 5-10 mins. What is horrible is they come sometimes without warning and I feel i just have to escape and just get home. She wants me to been seen by psychiatrist because she says family MD can longer tx for these disorders mainly my Panic Disorder cause of Xanax and my dosage. I have had increased anxiety since this recent change last month and really doing my relaxation tech which have helped some. Any suggestions, because my psychiatrist who dx me said there is no cure I have to manage it however with that said it has been some years ago.
