Hi Kylah,
Zoloft is a very good medication for anxiety.
It has some initial side effects, but it might take all the panic attacks away within a month. The side effects from the anti-depressants usually only last a few days. You'll know right away if you can't tolerate it. You might try starting it right at bedtime and have someone with you when you do.
With counseling and medication you could have this tackled within the year.
I know how horrible it is. I'm sorry you have to go through this.
Hugs,
MG
