CBT changed my life rapidly. Sometimes just hearing your thoughts diffuses them.
I have been on almost everything, and I find celexa (citalapram) to have manageable side effects, but’s it’s still not great in terms of weight gain and fatigue. I’ve recently had a lot of success with CBD hemp oil (becoming legal in Canada soon).
Other than that, this is the best advice I can give :

  1. Be kind to yourself. Anger, fear, and frustration makes it worse.
  2. Exersize. Get your heart rate up 15 min a day doing literally anything . Listen to your body. Panic after caffeine, booze, or greasy food? Listen. Meditate. It’s not just for hippies.
  3. Get the Anxiety and Phobia workbook
  4. Know your triggers and SLOWLY force yourself to desensitize. I hate buses, elevators, getting dizzy, planes, etc.
    I shined lights in my eyes purposely to dialate pupils to cause alarm, but train myself that physiological responses are not cause for panic. I would take the bus for one stop, or the elevator one floor. Start small. Celebrate wins. I’m working up to getting back on a plane.
  5. Nothing helping and you’re just having a good ol’ fashion panic attack? Breathe in enough to see your stomach rise. Become aware of your tension (neck, fists) and let go. I take a shower then turn it as cold as I can stand, the back to warm, then back to cold. Instantly works.
    No shower near? Hold ice. Pop an Ativan. Hug someone.
    I find panic is like a peanut allergy. If I let it get out of hand and have a massive meltdown, it gets worse each time.

Have you read “Dare”?

Dare: The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks https://www.amazon.com/dp/0956596258/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nDE2Db1E5TMJB

I think Audible has a sale right now so you can get three months at $8 so you can get the audiobook version. It has helped me tremendously and from what I read it sounds like it could help you, too.

I always vomit with my panic attacks so I understand your struggle with it! When I went away for college my stomach would hurt so bad that I couldn't eat and if I did I'd be sick, so I started taking what we call in my house as "peppermint pills." Essentially they're peppermint extract and for me they surprising would calm my stomach enough to eat. This is the brand I've been using. My doctor also gave me a prescription for Ondansetron, 8mg (the 4mg doesn't do much for me), dissoluble pills that work magic most the time. I just take one when needed.
