You definitely sound like you are experiencing panic disorder (which I share). I couldn't agree more with the other posters to find a therapist skilled in CBT (just call and ask) while you are still young. I have been on benzos for over 3 years (mainly for the panic but also for the other disorders I have) and probably will always have to be on them. My 10 y.o. son just started having panic attacks (this is often a genetic condition) and my psychiatrist who specializes in anxiety disorders has pushed me into sending him to a psychologist, not a psychiatrist, because he does not want him to go the med route. So let us know how the search goes, and I wish you all the best- judy
