I suffer from panic attacks, although mine come randomly without provocation. I would advise that you take your medicine as directed and watch your symptoms. As you get used to dealing with panic attacks you can recognize what it feels like before you get a panic attack. Take your meds when you notice that feeling so that you don't get a full on attack. I am sorry to hear about the break down of your relationship. You need to know that you are no t alone though, many of us here go through panic attacks and survive to lead healthy lives. Also, therapy can be helpful.

Diazepam, is generic for Ativan. it is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety. It isn't very strong. IMHO and it will help you with your panic attacks.
I have had panic attacks when it comes to break up's, and there is no easy way out of it. You just have to go through it and come out on the other end. It seems horrible right now. I know, I've been there and I feel so bad for you honny. It's one of those things that life throws at us.
I know for myself, I am hyper-sensitive when it comes to affairs of the heart. Meaning that I feel like I take it alot harded than the norm. Perhaps, you can agree.
Don't be scared love. We are all here for you. Breaking up is hard to do. Keep that chin up and if you ever need to talk, look me up.

Try to stop fighting and let is pass through you, slowly... Pain is a process. This just like many things in life, take time to overcome. You will get there. Remember Rome wasn't built in a day. =)
Big Hugs to you!!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
