Panic attacks can be one of the most challenging aspects of mental health conditions like anxiety. Often coming without warning, they can involve intense physical sensations and a feeling of being out of control. For people who struggle with them regularly, panic attacks can make it difficult to get through everyday things like going to work, connecting with loved ones, or leaving the house. However, there is treatment available—counseling, pastoral care, and even medication for panic attacks can make a difference.
At Honey Lake Clinic, we approach mental health treatment with a holistic focus on body, mind, and spirit. Call 888.428.0562 to learn more about our faith-based panic disorder treatment options.
Can You Manage Panic Attacks Without Medication?
While medications can be an effective tool in managing panic attacks, they are not the only option. Therapy, lifestyle changes, and self-care practices can also play a significant role in reducing the frequency and intensity of panic attacks.
The way medications work is by addressing the symptoms of panic attacks, but they don’t necessarily address the root cause. Therapy, on the other hand, can help individuals work through underlying issues that may be contributing to their panic attacks and develop coping strategies for managing them. While many patients benefit from long-term panic disorder medication regimens, medication can even be used as a short-term tool while working through therapy and other forms of treatment.
What Happens if You Stop Taking Panic Disorder Medication?
If you have been prescribed medication for panic attacks, it’s important to continue taking it as directed by your doctor. Stopping medications abruptly can lead to uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and a return of anxiety symptoms. Talk with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
