A panic attack can be associated with increased sweating, difficulty in breathing, chest pain, palpitations, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, light-headedness, fear of losing control, and fear of imminent danger and impending doom. Panic disorders require sustained treatment to improve the patient's quality of life.

This controls seizures, and produces a sedating, calming effect on the brain and generalised muscle relaxation....
