Suggest medication for panic attacks
Patient: Hi, Ive suffered a good few panic attacks in the past 2 months. Mostly when I have been on a night out drinking alcohol. But also in the last week I started to get one while I was training. As I wasnt under the influence of alcohol I was able to control it, rather than let it get completely out of hand. On the very first night it happened I collapsed and then had a panic attack. Doctor: Dear User,Thanks for using health care magic.From the available description it appears that you are self medicating your panic attacks which is going to do more harm in long term. The benzodiazepines group of medicines are recommended for acute control of panic attacks and in long term the antidepressants are right choice for treatment of panic attacks.You are advised to see a psychiatrist who will take more history to find out the suitable medicine for you. You can also put direct query to me with more details.'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".Thanks
