Has anyone conquered panic disorder? If so how?

Genuine answers please. I have suffered from post traumatic stress disorder for 8 years..8 years on xanax now seems to cause panic. Help I can't take anymore of this.

I have PTSD with panic/anxiety disorder and I have gradually been able to get it under control. I did see a psychiatrist and a therapist but that really didn't work for me. It does though for many people so if you haven't I would start there. I do take meds, but I think the best thing for me was learning breathing exercises and designating myself a safe place and person. A safe place is a place you can go where you know you are safe and can calm down when you feel an attack coming and a safe person is someone who can reassure you that your safe and help you calm down. Stress relief and trigger avoidance helps immensely once you figure out what your triggers are. I hope this helps! Good Luck!!!

there's no cure, I know a person that suffers from panic disorder for anything and everything and that starts to bug the crab out of everybody around her, and that isn't funny, what is there to panic about? see a shrink, a doctor or just anything, and if that doesn't work, a solution has to be made, every thought of ending it? for the sake of the people around you? they are suffering a lot too.

Sorry to hear you have a panic disorder i had it for over twenty year been on xanax most of the time and it does help temporarily. The only advice i can tell you is don,t do any street drugs,don,t drink achohol and avoid stress. I go outside and listen to nature. And i also see a physichiatrist which i don,t think helps...
