[QUOTE="FunkOdyssey, post: 232840, member: 44064"] Benzos would probably work great for awhile, until tolerance developed. I would not take them regularly though, because you will become dependent and withdrawal can be hellish / impossible. A short-acting benzo like alprazolam might be a good option to use on an as-needed basis when these episodes come on. When I was suffering panic attacks, I used to carry them with me everywhere, and they would give me a sense of security. I knew if I was having an unbearable experience I could pop the pill and it would bring rapid relief. Fortunately, I discovered that I could bear it in most cases and rarely resorted to using them. There was probably an entire year at the end where I carried the same alprazolam pill around in my pocket without taking it. Just be careful if you try this though, because its a very slippery slope where you may be tempted to increase frequency. Each time you take one, you will be increasingly vulnerable to anxiety and panic in the days that follow due to the rebound effects. [/QUOTE]
