hi.. i can understand your concern, panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder but it can be controlled very effectively with medications and behavioral and psychotherapy..

u have been taking meds, i will suggest some change in your meds, which may help u.
u shud continue klonopin 0.5 mg morning and afternoon and take two tabs at night..

stop pristique, and start paxil [paroxetine] 25 mg at night and increase it to 37.5 after 15 days, u ll be surely benefited..

u shud also consult a psychotherapist which can help u in understanding your illness and give suggestions about how to handle it when panic attacks occur?
u ll be benefited with relaxation exercises, meditation, yoga etc...

i hope this advice will be helpful to you..best luck
