Nostormos:
I am not at all qualified to recommend any type of medication to you. I have no medical training or credentials, but I can tell you about my own personal experience. Job related stress is the number one cause of panic attacks for me at this point in my life. I have suffered from general anxiety disorder all my life and, although there were a few events that triggered full-on panic attacks earlier when I was younger I could, for the most part, deal with it (although not without embarrassment).
My ability to deal with periodic intense anxiety diminished over the years and I finally got to the point that I chose to use medication to deal with high stress situations. I was at the point that I figured that experimenting with medications presented less risk to my health than dealing with the relentless anxiety related to my job.
So, if you too choose to go this route, and you are seeking relief from short term intense anxiety and/or panic attacks, then I have found Alprazolam to be the most effective medication for me. This med. takes complete control of my anxiety and still allows me to think clearly, speak effectively, and to interact more comfortably with clients.
Read everything you can about this medication before you use it. Use the lowest effective dose you can, and exercise self discipline to assure that you maintain your use at the minimum effective dose (constant vigilance required).
I wish you the Best of Luck
