Panic Attack Medications
March 11, 2010

When it comes to living with panic attack symptoms, you know it can almost take over your life. Living in fear of whether or not you will have to suffer through another period of grief, pain, and discomfort is enough to put a panic attack into full action. When it comes to treating a panic attack, some medications have been known to significantly reduce symptoms, enabling people to continue living a life that is not consumed with the fearful unknown. The following provides information about some of the most effective medications available to consumers.

Alprazolam (al-PRAZ-zo-lam)

This medication is one of the more common prescriptions for general anxiety treatment. It is a benzodiazepine, which is used to treat short term panic attack symptoms in many people every day. This medication is not meant to treat ongoing and daily forms of a panic attack, but is very useful to people who experience these symptoms periodically.

Azapirones (a-zah-PIE-ronz)

Azapirones is a drug which works on the central nervous system in relieving the many symptoms of anxiety. This drug can be found in many antidepressants and is the reason many people who normally would not take antidepressants do, because of their panic attack symptoms. It is used to calm the nervous system, putting it somewhat into sleep mode, as to keep their sirens from blowing when a panic attack sets in.

Benzodiazepines (ben-zo-die-AZ-a-peens)

This is a tranquil medication, used to help fight anxiety and insomnia. The drug is very potent, and a fear of becoming addicted to it is shared with both physicians and patients. For extreme cases of anxiety, this is the medication most commonly used, but it's also something that can significantly alter your mood or personality if not used properly or for longer periods of time than prescribed.

Which Medication to Use

Depending on the severity of the panic attack symptoms you have, will greatly determine which medication a physician will prescribe for you. It is important to remember that you should not determine which medications to use on your own, help from a doctor is the way to go. Using other people's medications may help your symptoms at the time, but in the end you still need a solution for long term results. As medications tend to alter our body structure when used for long periods of time, don't be surprised if your doctor prescribes more than one medication before finding the one that will work for you. Using the least amount of medication to control your panic attack symptoms is the most beneficial for you, so physicians will start with low dosages or light medication and work their way up from there.
