Do you get panic attacks? If so, what do you do to stop them after they've started? Or to prevent them? Without medication.

Asked by bridold (638points) August 13th, 2008

I’ve been getting panic attacks ever since I was a little girl, but they’ve gotten a lot worse in the past few years. I started getting them every day, sometimes several times a day. I was perscribed both Xanax and Zoloft. I refused to take the Zoloft and stopped taking the Xanax about a year ago. Now I’ve been trying several different methods to calm myself down once the panic attacks start. I dont’ get them as often as I used to, but I do still have them. I use breathing techniques, exercise and meditation. Any other suggestions?
