What Is a Panic Attack?
8. Are There Any Medical Treatment Options?
Some individuals find success in limiting or preventing panic attacks through medication. Talk to your doctor or mental health professional about medical treatment options. Medical treatments typically involve medication combined with psychotherapy.
Common medications for panic attacks include antianxiety drugs, benzodiazepines and antidepressants. Each of these drugs comes with their own side effects, so discuss these completely with your doctor before use. Since your treatment plan may change over time, continue to visit your doctor or therapist for more information.
