[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 2818550, member: 3615"] Things like Xanax and Ativan only make the panic attack stop, they suck for long term issues. Avoid whatever triggers you can find, seek out the stuff that makes you feel calm. The ER docs are only going to stop your current issue, give you some advice, and send you on your way. That kind of issue just isn't what ERs are there to deal with. Get to your regular doc, tell him/her about it and start getting help. Long term help will come from counseling (whatever you like, faith based or not), cognitive therapy, and meds or any combination thereof. I've known people who had to have Librium for a few months then tapered off while they started an antidepressant. I've also known one person who was pretty well controlled on a small dose of Inderal (older guy who was on it for years). In the long run regular maintenance of your anxiety is a lot cheaper than occasional ER visits. All the best man. [/QUOTE]
