Frequency of panic attacks

[RossfromLondon]

Just out of interest how often do each of you have panic attacks?

I think everybody is different - some people get regular full bloown panics and some just get major ones once in a blue moon.

For me it's more like liveing on the verge of panic hte whole time and living in a state of semi-panic. Occassionally I get the full blown works but more often than no it's a day spent panicking that I am going mad! I think it's because I now cope better with the physical symptoms so the mental ones are worse.

At one point I went an entire year without having an attack.. Then I went through some major life changes and the downward spiral began all over again to where I was having them daily sometimes more than once a day... now 4 mnths after I began meds and therapy I have had one major attack and a few "mini" attacks.. So I would have to say it depends on the person as well as what is going on in their life at the time.
