Need Suggestions To Overcome Panic Attacks
Hi I have been a fairly confident working professional and high achiever all through my career. Had a totally out of the blue panic attack once while giving my introduction, something I have never ever faced before. That was over a year back. But even now when I appear for interviews, I get a panic attack while giving my introduction. Not before, not after but just during my introduction. But that is totally damaging. I have been asked to take an Epitril 0.5 the night before an interview and to have a slice of chocolate before stepping in for the same. Will this help? Please note that I am exercising, meditating, doing breathing exercises etc but somehow yet not able to overcome this.

Hello.If panic attacks persist, it would be advisable taken daily an effective antidepressant against panic attacks such as Paroxetine or Escitalopram.
I also recommend to take at morning (not at night) one hour before the interview ,Alprazolam 0.5 mg.I wish you good health.
