Default Re: my friend had a panic attack. what to do?

[ QUOTE ]
If she is worried it could reoccur, she should see a psychiatrist, who will prescribe her a fast acting benzodiazapine---most likely alprazolam, ie, Xanax.

If taken at the onset of a panic attack, its remarkably effective.


Talking to a psychologist alone is unlikely to help.


Plus, you can steal her pills.

no a psychologist alone can help just as much as the medications....a combo is better than EITHER option alone
