[QUOTE="ibanezcollector, post: 1335701, member: 564152"] I dealt with them for 4-5 years myself and it seriously destroyed my life, my friends, my family. I was afraid to do anything in large crowds. Go places I didnt know(ie out of state, etc etc.) I used Zoloft for almost 3 years but it is sometimes worse than just dealing with them. Its a fear mine stemmed from finding my father dead. Generally its from a traumatizing experience. I decided about 2 years ago to kick the drugs, it wasnt helping anything and begin finding out what was causing them. Realizing your not going to die, choke, stop breathing etc etc is a huge step in controling them. You know what it feels like so when it starts you need to control it. Dont let it control you/her Best thing you can get for her is knowledge. Be there for her, work thru this with her. Try to understand what she is going thru. At times many people with panic attacks will actually feel there insane. Get her to talk to you, to get it out in the open, for her to realize she is not alone. If you need me for any reason just shoot me a PM. I wouldnt wish Panic Attacks on my worst enemy. [/QUOTE]
