I Start To Panic About Disorder. Could There Be Something Else Mentally Going On With Me ?

I was diagnosed with panic disorder when I was younger, and up until recently, I had it under control. Lately, I feel as if I am going crazy when I start to panic, which I have been told is a normal symptom, BUT I also feel EXTREME dizziness for up to 4 hours at night only, until I fall asleep. Could there be something else mentally going on with me ? May be I really am going crazy ?

You should not leave your condition untreated for a long time. I advise you to take the help of a Psychiatrist as this would worsen if left undiagnosed. If necessary you shall be put on certain medications and also appropriate counselling shall be advised to cope up with the condtion.

I have a Psychiatrist, as well as a counselor.  I've been put on Zoloft and Lorazapam, but refuse to take either because of the way they make me feel.  My panic attacks have never been this bad in my life.  I am considering getting a brain scan to see what is going on with my brain function to see if maybe it is something else, but for the time being this is extremely uncomfortable for me to deal with.  I don't know if it's just my disorder.
