Thank you for your reply, Gary.

My panic attacks have become more and more frequent-it is my GAD extrapolated 100 times.

And people don't believe they can last hours but they can.

i am growing more and more afraid these days of when the next one is going to strike.

Thank you again, i am so sorry you suffer from panic attacks as well, i so hope you will one day be free of them.
