Hi

I understand your concern.

No dear masturbation does not help in anxiety.
You can do it . But it has no relation to anxiety or panic.

yes zoloft can take time for action.
Till that you can take other as and require medicines...

if you have further panic attack then no need to rush hospital you will take medicine like etizolam for quick relief.

This kind of conditions can be treated with a SSRI and benzodiazapine.

In SSRI zoloft and peroxetine will help.

Do regular exercise and meditation.

Proper sleep.


I hope I have answered your question.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.

Happy to help you.

Thank you.

Hi dear,
first of all masturbation has no effect on your panic attack.
yes Zoloft takes time to act minimum 15 days.
Up to that time you can take clonazepam mouth dissolving tablet SOS.
Have you undergone ECG?
Not to worry about panic as it comes and goes away it self though gives very extreme anxiety .
discuss with your treating doctor for immediate acting tablet like clonazepam.
Thank you
