How Can Severe Panic Attacks Be Treated?

I have been treated for depression for years along with therapy and pills over the years I ve managed but also had 3 nervous breakdowns. But when I married my husband 7 years ago I was taking 18 pills so my husband and i decided to throw away all of them and start with a new doctor. Well after that I didn t have to take any meds for awhile and was ok. Then 5 years in I started having panic attacks and nerve problems in my opinion. After 15 years of therapy. But since I had depression all those years ago the doctor won t even consider it to be anything else. What should I do? I am having very serious problems

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion, you should definitely consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. These sessions will give you diagnosis. Since you are off to depression medicines, possibility of anxiety, panic disorder is more likely. You may need Anxiolytic drugs (Propranolol and Flunarizine combination) too. If psychiatrist feels, you may also need anti depressant drugs. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.

Hope I have answered your query.
