Maybe I'm Amazed

I had a panic attack in February, my first and hopefully my last.  I agree that medication is not a good long-term solution, but my doctor gave me about 14 days' worth Klonopin.  Just enough to give me a chance to catch my breath (literally).  Then I started exercising again and did the deep breathing he recommended.  When I went back after 6 weeks, he asked if I wanted any meds to keep on hand and I told him no.  If I needed it, I would call him.  I hope your doctor can help you like mine helped me, because even though my attack was a one-time thing, nothing chronic like you seem to be having, I know it wasn't anything I want to go through again.  Good luck to you!
