I have successfully calmed down from panic attacks using DBT. I think the most important thing I learned was not to fight the panic because that just makes things worse. I welcome the feelings and then meditate, listen to soothing music, or watch comedy on TV, anything that will distract me. I used to panic daily and needed to take Ativan to calm down but thanks to DBT, I can't remember the last time I had a panic attack. There's some great DBT workbooks you can find on Amazon.

Hang in there! It takes a little work to learn DBT skills, but it's so worth it and I'm sure if you do this, you will learn to manage your feelings.
