I'm sorry you're having to go through this. I don't take anything for anxiety. But I don't have panic and anxiety attacks on the regular. I just have a low grade anxiety that follows me around. I guess I'm so used to it it doesn't phase me that much anymore. But like I said I don't get panic attacks very often. Maybe you should look in to some cbt strategies for managing anxiety? If this pdoc is determined not to give you any meds for it, you may have no other choice.
