Before I go on, I'm 17 years old. In the last couple of months, especially the past week, I have been getting increasingly more anxiety attacks. It's not just about my emet either, they have been random, unexplained anxiety attacks that just occur out of no where. On top of that, my body seems to be in full time stress mode. I find I can no longer sit through anything requring my full attention for more than 5-10 minutes. I've already broke down crying at school for no apparent reason and ended up talking to the councellor about nothing as I didn't no why they were happening.


Last Sunday I went to the hospital because I couldn't breathe and he (doctor)told me I was having an anxiety attack (I wasn't sure because I never had to struggle so much to breathe before). He gave me Atavin which made me depressed for a little bit then I calmed down and went to sleep. Since then, I've been wondering if I should get a presciption or something to calm me down. My mom gave me some wine last night to take the edge of these anxiety attacks but I'm wondering what I should do. I'm afraid to get dependent on drugs yet I feel so helpless and frustrated right now. If I do get a prescription, should I talk to the doctor about getting more Atavin or is there something else you would recommend that I should talk to him about?
