Suggest Treatment For Severe Panic Attacks With Vomiting

Better to take antidepressant
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
You have anxiety disorder. May be panic disorder. In that case, panic attacks would not be stopped with lorazepam only. You also need a antidepressant, that would help to control it. In your case, i would suggest paroxetine as an antidepressant. It is one of the best antidepressant in anxiety disorder. You can also carry on lorazepam, but it is short acting. Its half time is 6 to 7 hours and maximum dose in a day is 24 mg. Better to take clonazepam, it has half life up to 14 to 17 hours and help to control anxiety symptoms in better way.
You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. Rest, you can consult your psychiatrist.
In case, you need further help, you can ask.
