@cool09, Have you ever tried Xanax for your panic attacks?......It is a benzodiazepine that "kicks in" quicker than Klonopin.

Also, there is a medication called "propranolol" that is sometimes used for panic attacks........Propranolol is a beta blocker medication that is used to relieve the physical effects and signs of panic......This medication can slow a racing heartbeat, and reduce sweating and trembling.

If you feel comfortable, you could ask your doc about propranolol for your panic attacks, and see what doc thinks.
