Depending on the severity of the situation it can take up to 6 months. You have to be on an antidepressant that you can tolerate for at least 6 months.
Recovery from a panic attack depends on how preoccupied you are with a recurrence and your coping strategies.
The more you understand the origin of your panic attacks, the less effect they will have on you and the shorter they will become.
