Have Panic Attacks, Tried Various Therapy, Yoga. Trying To Get Pregnant. What Is The Best Solution ?

I have had what I thought to be hypoglycemia. However, all tests ever done have come back normal. I had my first hypoglcemic attack at 13 (or what I thought was one), I had my first panic/anxiety attack about 8 years ago. I went to my doctor at the time who perscribed me medication, which worked wonderfully! I was curious if it could be anxiety. It runs deep in my family, I had an Aunt diagnosed at the age of 15. My other doctor moved out of state and I have tried going to another doctor to be put back on medication, at the time I was trying to get pregnant so the doctor said no medications, try meditation, yoga, or behavioral therapy. Tried them all and still have anxiety symptoms. Now I am not trying to get pregnant, done with babies but my doctor told me I have dealt with it on my own this long (10 years) that I should be fine. I understand going straight to a pill is not the best solution but I have tried everything else and no relief. And I feel my doctor is not listening to me, she wants to take "alternative approaches" even after I have told her I tried. And to be honest my insurance does not cover behavioral therapy and I can not afford to see a therapist once a week at $150+ each time.
