Learn to breathe properly and you will not panic. A good behavioral therapist will know how to teach you
Typically, medications that help with panic attacks are more effective when used in conjunction with talk therapy, which can reduce the amount of time the medications need to be taken. It's hard to say exactly how long without knowing how intense, frequent and debilitating the panic are, and if there are any medical conditions to be considered.
Taking medication for panic attacks really doesn't have a time frame. If you are working on coping mechanisms for your anxiety with your therapist in time you will be able to manage on your own and can then titrate off the medications with your prescriber's guidance.
