> Hi fires,
> Can you please provide links or references about the "best treatments" for panic disorder and anxiety. I actually find that meds, particularly short-acting anxiolytics, just serve to "chase" the panic versus help the person learn to cope with it and perhaps conquer it. IMO, coping skills training is much more effective than short acting anxiolytics. So I would be interested in seeing what the current literature has to say about meds.

The most effective treatments for anxiety and panic attacks are now believed by some to be antiDs:

Using coping skills to combat panic attacks/anxiety is like using psychoanalysis to treat schizophrenia, in my book.
