>Hi. I had my first panic attack in 1989 and it was a long road..I can't answer you if there is a cure for it . I went through allot of therapy to try and over come it. I learned tips on how to deal with it. I can say that i have an easier time with it now because i have learned so much. It never goes completely away for me but i deal with it and it does get better. Coffee, chocolate any thing high in caffeine would send me through the roof. I still have xanax on hand but dont have to take it often. The more you learn about anxiety and how to deal with the symptoms as they come the easier it will get for you to get through the symptoms..fear is the worst. I think for me that learning to control my breathing was the key to limiting the severety of the attacks...good luck
