Who qualifies for panic disorder medication
When you complete your medical questionnaire, the EU-licensed doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure medication is safe and appropriate for you. This includes a clear diagnosis of panic disorder, a history of your symptoms, and any previous treatments you've tried. They will also assess for contraindications, such as specific medical conditions, allergies, or interactions with other medications you may be taking. The doctor's primary goal is your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.
What panic disorder medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Medications for panic disorder, primarily SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) and sometimes SNRIs or benzodiazepines, work by rebalancing neurotransmitters in your brain that influence mood and anxiety. SSRIs and SNRIs are typically taken daily and can take several weeks to reach their full effect, gradually reducing the frequency and intensity of panic attacks and associated anxiety. Benzodiazepines offer faster, short-term relief but carry a higher risk of dependence. These medications are not a cure but can significantly manage symptoms, allowing you to engage more effectively in therapy and daily life. They do not eliminate anxiety entirely but help make it more manageable.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, those for panic disorder can have side effects. Common side effects for SSRIs and SNRIs include nausea, dizziness, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction, often subsiding after the first few weeks. Benzodiazepines can cause drowsiness, impaired coordination, and memory issues. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions precisely and report any severe or persistent side effects. Never stop taking your medication abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a relapse of panic attacks. Your Hi-Doctor physician will guide you on appropriate usage and when it might be safe to consider tapering off the medication.
