All the coping skills will not help if there is a problem and its usually depression with anxiety. Sometimes the only way to stop some of the panic attacks is by meds. This way you get a handle on yourself to explore more why you might be having the attacks. Nothing worse then a full blown panic attack. I have had so many. I am still on xanax and have been for six years never ever increasing the dosage. I take a low dose, time released and it helps...even after all this time.I still get a little anxiety but no panic attacks for years now!
We have to do what we have to do.....You know best...go with your gut and be well!
