I have found personallly that clonezepam aka klonopin, that I believe I mispelled in my first post, is for me the best as far as not stopping how you feel, but stopping the massive and overwhelming feelings of panic, as far as Normal, what is normal, the drugs help, but you have to help yourself as well, this can be hard and can be a fight, but you have to force yourself out there, make sure you have your meds with you, then you know they are there, when you start to feel overwhelmed, try to focus on something, force yourself to focus on something, what made you go there, what interests you there, force yourself to interact before you know it you will find yourself more interested in what your focused on and that feeling will be gone, and there is nothing wrong with taking a med to just take the edge off to be able to focus and cope, without making you emotionally dead, why I personally don't like anti-depressants. Everyone wants a cure, but we all have battles to face in life, old saying that which don't kill us makes us stronger, you can set your mind to be determined to beat the odds, does not mean you won't have moments, but as long as you have something to keep it from turning into a full blown panic attack,  mild anxiety feels like a walk in the park compaired to that, so just push forward, find something that stops the panic without changing your ability to feel, and also, see someone, there may be things in your past, maybe suppressed things event that need to be addressed, and you can also learn some methods to help coping methods when your feeling overwhelmed, you do have a choice, but start small, then go out a bit further each time, you will find that you can take control of your life, anxiety and panic does not have to control you :)
