Hi
I had gone through your query.
Panic attack and anxiety is due to imbalance in neurotransmitter in response to psychological stress.
Neurotransmitter is mainly serotonin and nor epinehrine.
Klonopin is clonazepam and it is benzodiazapine. It helps in panic attack for immediate assistance. But it does not correct imbalance of neurotransmitters in brain.
For this correction medicines like SSRI is helpful.Among SSRI peroxetine/sertaline/escitalopram can be useful.
Take acc. to your psychiatrist advise.
Meditations and relaxation like deep breathing exercise can reduce stress and anxiety.
I hope i have answered your query.
Feel free to ask.
Thank you.
