Totally agree with above post. You can try natural remedies too. Usually pretty cheap.
Hi, I'm sorry to hear this has happened to you.
You can do deep breathing exercises when you feel a panic attack coming on. I also found yoga helpful, as well as listening to a hypnosis cd for anxiety. The other thing you can do is buy mind over mood. It is a workbook that most doctors recommend. I would even check if there are support groups (usually free) in your surounding area.
