stratocaster: Thanks so much for all of the advice! I havent gotten a chance to see my doctor yet, but I am definitely going to discuss switching medications and trying something extra to take the edge off during an actual panic attack. Is there something you can take during one that helps? I've had a couple of really scary ones that have lasted almost an hour.TThey weren't intense the entire hour, more like it would continue hitting me in waves of panic.

blessedrhiannon: Gosh, I am so sorry to hear that other people are going through such extreme attacks too. They really freak me out, I'm constantly worried about having another one happen. That's the only normal anxiety I've really experienced. Definitely need to get this figured out with my doctor.

Thanks, both of you for all the information and your personal stories! I'm just working on what I'm going to say to my doctor to properly convey what is going on with me.
