I had that feeling for about a week after drinking a lot of alcohol on a saturday night. It lasted about a week and Ativan was like a on&off switch when I took them (prescribed). I think it was from dehydration or some other chemically imbalance happening in my mind.

not long, but it does cause more panic, I am now takingmedication to prevent them.....if you have them frequently, pleaseget some help....millions of people suffer and they do not havetoo. Ummm see if you can have financial assistance for yourmedical and prescriptions, and please take care of yourselfit is the best thing you can do is ask for help, do not be afraid or ashamed...no need to suffer especially alone

A panic attack can actually last up to a week and you could very well pass out if you are not careful. I did take meds to help me for a long time and they do work, but my side effects were just extreme. But for some people they dont have side effects. Look in your town for a mental health center, they go by income and if you have no income they will furnish your meds and your doctor visits. Usually a county or state mental health center, but make sure it says mental health.Now for my panic attacks, I meditate. It works for me, while meds work for my mother. So you need to keep a paper bag close by and sit in a confined area with your knees in your chest... this will help until you can find alternative help or meds.Good luck

Anxiety, depression or panic attack can be under control thro specific medicinals (antidepressant) and often the right dose is checked by the doctor. It's not a simple short-term treatment and patients generally have to take drug for many years or forever even at different dosage.Be aware that such drugs have some rilevant side effects.Thus it's just opportune at least a propaedeutic visit.
