I used to have crippling attacks about 7 years ago, to the point of passing out. I eventually found, through reading and a lot of yoga and meditation, that most of my attacks were becoming larger than they should just by my thinking about the attack coming on (anxiety begets more anxiety)
I had thought about taking meds, and I am sure they would have helped, but I chose a more spiritual and introspective route, and got myself straight.
I've been attack free for about 3 years now, and when I feel even the slightest inkling of one, I am able to get out of it almost immediately.
I feel for you, those were some shitty times. Good luck getting better.
