[QUOTE="cktad, post: 2818922, member: 2521"] I suffered from severe panic attacks for several years back in the early 1990's. I did a lot of research and it showed that it is adrenaline based on the "fight or flight" response all humans have had since time began. Only problem is you are in a situation that you can't fight or flee. I did various things that have been suggested but one thing pretty much ended them. Out of the blue my wife left me while I was at work and took all the money (probably deep down I suspected something was going bad so the attacks started). When I got home I realized what happened and a panic attack started. I basically said to myself screw it, if this is gonna kill me then bring it on. I just didn't care anymore. The attack subsided and I realized that it was only adrenaline and wasn't gonna kill me so I didn't fear a panic attack anymore. After realizing this I never had a bad one again as when one would start I would remember that I could beat it. It's the fear of one that cripples you and makes it worse. I wish you luck as they are horrible to experience. [/QUOTE]
