Sorry to read that you’ve had to deal with them also. They can be very scary. Years ago I used to get them all the type after a huge life trauma but eventually they went away on their own. Lorazepam works great. I had about 8 pills left from 2017 and my doctor said to take them since they should still be good and they were. I’ve since gotten a refill from my nurse practitioner from the same medical centre. They work together.Sorry to hear about the panic attacks. They are real & they are no joke. About 15 years ago I used to get them once in a while. It was like a heart attack & I thought I was going to die. On 2 different occasions, my wife at that time drove me to the hospital. For some strange reason the attacks would start around 11:30 am & then they would go on for about 2 hours & then stop. A pharmacist told me about Lorazepam. I went to my doctor who, at that time, told me that there are 3 good drugs for panic attacks. Now some 15 years later I very seldom get the attacks. I am looking at a container from November 18, 2019, I have used only 6 tablets (0.05mg). That works to only 1 pill used every 2 months. Although I am far from being a doctor or thinking I know it all in medicine, I have read several times that we should be very careful if we take more than 5 or 6 pills on a daily basis. What happens is that you end up taking pills just to contour the effects of other pills. This is why you should never use more than 1 doctor at a time & the same goes for your pharmacist. I know there are people suffering terrible pain or are in an "end of life" situation, but the average person should not be taking a dozen pills everyday. Sorry to hear about your pain. Good luck!
I’d seen the naturopathic doctor afterwards since I’m not a fan of taking conventional medicine but I think in this case I’m going to try it. Thank you for caring and I hope you never have another panic attack. For the record, many people go to emergency while having their first panic attack. They can feel like a combination of a seizure and a heart attack at the same type including body chills/ shivering.
