Suggest Medication For Panic Attacks
I have panic attacks that are disabling. I first thought they were heart problems until I went to the hospital and had blood work done as well as a stress test. I need to find a doctor in the state of Indiana who is willing to prescribe appropriate medication. I have been on a variety of agents such as SSRI's, tricyclics, buspar,& others. none helped my anxiety attacks except benzodiazepines - at different times since I was 19 yrs old I have been prescribed valium, Librium, clonopin, tranxene, Xanax, & Ativan. can you help?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you are a chronic case of panic disorder. In your case, i would suggest combination of antidepressant rather than single drug. You can take paroxetine with propranalol along with benzodiazepine, but better to consult a psychiatrist before taking them. You can also take help of psychologist for relaxation exercise that would help to control anxiety.
Thanks
