Panic attacks

My panic attacks are always at night and I don't know why. They are mild and severe so my parents don't believe that it's everynight. They don't know about the mild ones. I take Kalms, but I don't want to be doing that long term.

talking therapies also could help
On the subject of talking therapies she did have CBT, which she found less than useless, a friend of ours had CBT the therapist told her to wear an elastic band round her wrist and to pull it when she felt stressed (I kid you not) one day the elastic band snapped and she spent hours worrying about it.
some combinations of drugs can cause panic attacks, @Awesomelorenzo you might try organising a review of your medications.
I'm on nothing other than kalms.
As a side note: I actually find the elastic band trick quite handy! It's not a cure or a fix-all though.
