I had panic attacks a few years back for about a month straight, and then they stopped.
Then about 5 month ago out of the blue i felt i was dying, all the usual common panic attack symptoms but because i hadn't had an attack in years i forgot about the feeling, and led myself into an awful experience.
Anyway since then my attacks are pretty mild during the day (everyday) but i have at least one full blown panic attack at night and if its not full blown its damn close. So i keep going to my Doctor ( about 5 times) and all he is saying is
"if you overcome them before you will do it again, i will prescribe you with reassurance, you are not going to die, i am not going to give you any drugs that you will be addicted to and one day rely on"..
is this right? im not a fan of drugs but as i feel latly i think i need them, i feel i will just pop at any given moment.. should he be helping me more or is this the right way to help me in the long run?
Thanks
Also sorry for the long badly punctuated post :blush:
