I know how you feel. I am 24 years old and was diagnosed with panic disorder about 1 1/2 ago. Before that, I had an EKG, brain scan, and numerous blood tests that all came back normal. I constantly thought or felt like I was going to die, especially when I drove to and from work. I tried Paxil for 6 months and had some side effects, so I discontinued them. I didn't want to take any more prescription meds, so I have been trying to cope with this myself. I have heard that St. John's Wort and Valerian capsules are a natural, effective way to control most panic attack symptoms. I am going to try one of these, as I just found out about them myself. Also, I recently cut back from 2 to 1 soda per day and this caffeine decrease seems to have really helped me. Good luck, I hope this helps you.
