Panic attacks are sudden surges of intense physical fear that feel dangerous, even when they aren’t.
Heart racing, dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, or an urge to escape can come out of nowhere. After a few attacks, many women begin living in anticipation of the next one.
Panic is a body alarm problem, not a personal failing. Medication can reduce how easily the alarm fires and how intensely it escalates, allowing the nervous system to relearn safety.
We are especially cautious with dosing and timing in panic treatment. Going too fast often makes symptoms worse. Our approach emphasizes gradual change and close follow-up.
Panic often overlaps with anxiety, sleep disruption, or health worries. Treatment adapts to the full picture, not just attacks.
Conditions we treat
Panic Attacks
Have you had sudden episodes of intense physical fear?
Do attacks feel dangerous or out of control while they’re happening?
Do you worry about having another attack?
Have you changed routines to avoid triggering symptoms?
Do attacks happen even when you’re not stressed?
If you answered yes to even one of these, medication may be one part of a thoughtful treatment plan.
This is not a diagnosis. It’s a way to notice patterns that may be worth discussing.
