Article Summary by: RezsoLazar     

Original Author: RezsoLazar
A great many people in the world suffer from a disease called Panic Disorder.  Unfortunately many people do not realize
that they are ill.  The symptoms of Panic Disorder are frequently evident for the outsiders. If you suffer from this disease you feel uncomfortable in a lot of social interactions, you are extremely stressed. Your pulse rises quickly and you feel your heart throbbing and your breath is faster to.  You experience a feeling that you are going to die. You get panicked. It is recommended for people suffering from this disease to turn to physicians. One should always bear in mind that the Panic attack only lasts for some seconds, and because you have survived it every time, you will do so this time as well.  Panic Diorder is usually treated with Paroxetin 20 mg and with Rivotril/ Clonazepam 2mg otr in another name Klonopin. Paroxetin is an antidepressant which is a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor,  whereas Clonazepam is a sedative which reduces seizures even in patients suffering from epilepsy. Clonazepam alone can be used as a sedative as well.  Agarophobia can be associated with Panic Diorder. Agarophobia is a disease when the patient is afraid of things without being able to define what is he or she afraid of.  Agarophobia can also be treated with antidepressants, and sedatives.
