[QUOTE="alongfortheride, post: 345137, member: 3817"] My daughter suffers from full blown panic attacks. She is 21 and at college and will call me so that I can listen to her breathing while she attempts to fall asleep. She is completely irrational regarding her imminent death. To make matters worse, she is working on her PharmD degree to become a pharmacist and has learned way too much about her body and potential problems. Depending on what bodily system they are studying, she will be dying from that. She has been prescribed a benzo as a PRN but she refuses to take them because they depress breathing which is her main cause of panic. She is getting to the point where she loses 1-2 nights of sleep per week trying to avoid the panic attacks. Your daughter is 15. I'm not sure that withholding information is going to be effective since there is a world of info on the internet which most likely would not be accurate or applicable. I think that getting information from the therapist is a safe place. I guess what I'm trying to say is that having too much information probably has little to do with the panic attacks, since they are not based on real threats but perceived threats. Panic attacks are the bodies response to stressors, a natural fight or flight reflex. [/QUOTE]
