In my opinion, if you are still able to function in your life despite having the attacks, I would try other methods to cope with them, but if the attacks have really altered the way you're living your life or if you also have agoraphobia, I might suggest meds to try and help you overcome the life altering symptoms. I, myself, was home bound when I first started having my attacks so I was willing to try ANYTHING to get my life back. I started different meds, but didn't tolerate any of them very well. The only one I continued to take was the Ativan. I took it everyday for the first few weeks, until I reclaimed most of my life back. After that & still to this day, I keep the Ativan on me, but haven't needed to take any in almost four months. I'd say it depends on the person and how bad off you are from the attacks. I would try other things first, if that's possible. Sandy "Love must be as much a light as it is a flame." Henry David Thoreau "In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person." Margaret Anderson “Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.” Benjamin Franklin Take care!  Sandy
