Panic Attacks Cause

do you know the cause of this? have you experienced it yourself?
it sends me into panic attacks when i have minimum anxiety.

I personally was diagnosed with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and first put on Zoloft to try and minimize the anxiety. However, while on Zoloft I had between 3-5 panic attacks a week, a steep increase, and was switched to Lexapro which worked better.
If you are having a similar situation in which your medicine seems to be making things worse then immediately talk to your doctor about changing medicines; and don’t be afraid to try new ones! When you find one that works for you it will open many doors.
Good luck!

   Xanax will only make panic attacks less intense but won’t get rid of them completely. You should be in counseling too.

   You could be on the wrong medication and that could be the cause of your panic attacks, you should definitely go talk to your doctor about this.
