Altered States.

To people who have never experienced a panic attack, I like to say "its like a bad acid trip, but more scary.." And though most of them have never used acid, its easier for them to imagine than a panic attack. Lol.

I get them mainly when my blood sugar is low. If I drink too much one night, I'm guaranteed to have a panic attack the next day. : /

I took benzos for them and had a very uncomfortable w/d..

I developed agoraphobia during that time, but have mostly conquered it due to having given myself exposure therapy.
