3 Years later I still feel anxiety build up (on the subway, in close quarters) but I tell myself to breath and that everything is going to be ok...I drink water and mentally calm myself down. This is much better than being a drone on medication....and I have my life back.

You don't always need meds for panic attacks
Panic attacks are real...and as a sufferer of them I am here to say you don't always need meds. After suffering a few panic attacks I went to see my Dr. who immediately put me on Zanex which I took and the next morning I woke up crying, lathargic, and feeling depressed...never felt this way before. So it was at that moment I thought wow which is worse panic or feeling depressed...my answer NEITHER. I decided to not take medicine and start educating myself as to how I could control these panic attacks....after all I wanted to control my brain not have it control me.
