Due to a major financial crisis in my life, I started having bad PAs. Family doc put me on 20 mgs/day lexapro but it will take a while to build up in my system. Also gave me .25 mgs Zanix for a quick pop when I feel an episode coming on. No more than 3/day. It don't do nothin.
Just wonderin if there is anyone out there who would be willing to share some expierence/thoughts with me.
Thanks,
Tony
I come from a family prone to anxiety . . .

Panic attacks respond well to cognitive behavior therapy. I suggest trying some progressive relaxation exercises. This workbook is great: http://www.amazon.com/Anxiety-Phobia.../dp/1567310745
