Sometimes the fear clouds my perception so much so that I do nothing but sit and worry about when the next panic attack is going to happen. I'm not sure what to do, and when I do suffer the intense panic attacks (uncontrollable heart palpitations and extreme terror) I need a medication that will work for me. I don't want to fear the medication, as I trust my psychiatrist more than any other human being on earth and I know he has my best interests in mind. But the benzos just don't do anything...what do I do? I find it weird that a pill that has an almost 100% success rate does NOTHING for me. Anybody have similar experiences?
