Suggest Treatment For Panic Attacks

Xanax for immediate help for panic attack.
Detailed Answer:
Hello -
I'm sorry that no one has responded yet. For immediate relief of a panic attack, take the Xanax. Xanax is a benzodiazepine anti-anxiety medication that works quickly but for short term. Buspar is an anti anxiety medication that is typically given on an ongoing basis to be effective, rather than sporadically.
I am sorry you have panic attacks. That is rough. In addition to your medications, if you have not tried already, learning meditation/mindfulness practices can help calm a person overall too.
Also, if not previously checked, thyroid function (TSH and free T4 blood tests) are a good idea in someone who has ongoing anxiety disorder to make sure there isn't a treatable medical component going on.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information.
