Hi
I have panic attacks while driving and seem ( quite wrongly ) to drive at break neck speeds to reach my destination. I have been put on 20mgs of Citalopram which I have been on now for 7 weeks. The medication does seem to have helped as I feel an attack coming on they seem to subside without going into a full blown attack, have a word with your GP and discuss this medication as I am sure they will help, my attacks seem to come on when i am in queuing traffic is yours similar ?

Dont forget .... a panic attack although very disturbing at the time won't kill you :)
