Prescribed medication is quite popular when it comes to treating panic disorders and anxiety.
There are some common drugs for panic attacks which have been proven to be rather successful but you need to consult with your doctor before taking any of them in order to determine the right dose for you.

1. Xanax - is a mild sedative which works by depressing your central nervous system and sort of subduing all the racing thoughts you experience which leads up to panic attacks.
   It helps to calm you down and make you less "jumpy" and less prone to worry.
   The downside is that it's quite easy to become dependent on it, both physically and mentally, when it's taken for a long time in a high dose.
   
2. Zoloft - falls into a category of anti-depressants which is referred to as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
   This works by reacting with the chemical in your brain called serotonin - a chemical used to send signals from one cell to the other.
   It's also referred to by some as "happy juice".
   Zoloft stabilizes serotonin levels in the brain making your life easier.
   It's generally safe to use and is usually recommend as the number one treatment for anxiety and panic disorder.
   
3. Prozac- falls in the same category as Zoloft and it works in exactly the same way.
   Prozac is a bit more controversial, though and its users have to be watched and monitored in order to determine what type of side effects it's having.
   
4. Valium - falls in the same category as Xanax and acts as a sedative.
   It's a high-risk drug which can be very addictive, especially if the user has a history of drug or alcohol abuse.
   

Remember to talk to your doctor about your medication and always inform him when you feel as if something is wrong.
