john j asked:


I have been having really bad panic attacks for the past two weeks and I was taking xanax for about a week and then I visited my doctor today and now I am taking atenolol once a day in the morning and elavil before bedtime. I just want some advice from someone else to make sure that my doctor knows what he is doing, will taking these two drugs make me get rid of my panic attacks? I have being feeling awful lately and panic attacks are horrible for anyone who has not experienced them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

   Unsure of those meds you mention. 2 separate doctors gave me xanax which worked magic – not one, not once with xanax. Give it a chance – a week isn’t long enough.

   For situational panic attack but most family docs under dose which means lot less side effects like xanax can make them worse dont recommend using xanax will abort panic attacks and neuropathic pain it might.
   For sleep because its sedating and constipation elavil is the withdrawal from agents.
   An old tricyclic used mainly for panic attacks but long term to prevent panic attack but take 612 weeks to prevent.
