Panic attacks and anxiety disorder are natural defense mechanism out body possesses and uses against threats. You must be able to distinguish between mental disease and mental disorder. Your problem is a mental disorder. Not a mental disease. Therefore no medicines are required. Mental disorder can be successfully treated with the help of awareness, meditation, psychotherapy techniques, lifestyle changes etc. I think two or three counseling sessions and psychotherapy techniques should solve your problem. Let me know if you are willing to undergo counseling sessions and self esteem building therapy through mobile / using messenger. Take care.

Yes, this may be habit forming. My concern however is whether you have been seeking therapy, simultaneously or not. This is very important with regard to recovery. The combination of medication and therapy offers the ideal platform for developing yourself. The therapy will help you develop skills and techniques to counter the daily challenges of life, to assess the fear that is causing this level of anxiety, and to moderate your response to a more healthy level. Your problem is fear based and probably deep-rooted. But no problem is without a solution. Perseverance is very important and as you plug in with the effort, a breakthrough will come. You must also have a confidante in life, like all of us need. An unbiased and non-judgmental person is what you need. Right now a counselor will fill in that place as a professional but in time look for one and settle on a friend who can fulfill the criteria mentioned above.
