Yes, there are a number of medications that could be used to treat and prevent panic attacks. You should discuss with your psychiatrist what type of medication would be the best for you.
The best treatment for panic attacks is a combination of medication and psychotherapy- typically cognitive-behavioral therapy. Melanie Sholtis, Psy.D. Licensed Psychologist (240)-210-9003
Hello, The most effective way to treat panic disorder is via therapy (ERP/Inhibitory Learning/CBT) and medication. Good luck!
Medication is not a fix it all solution. Therapy and working on coping skills will help you gain control of the panic attacks. Medications should never be the first solution, but a temporary aid until you have learned to manage your panic attacks
