I’ve had the exact same experience with medication. I haven’t tried CBD yet, but my panic attacks have stopped thanks to one doctor who quickly recognized that my right side neck tightness and pain may be causing it. The vagus nerve responsible for fight or flight response may have been the cause. A quick 2 min nerve block injection did the trick, even if it was placebo im happy that it worked. I’m now tapering off medications because my experience with them has been awful! Constant dizziness. I would like to consider CBD for the few times I get the slippery slope feeling of anxiety coming on. I’ve had very good luck with American skullcap (floral herb) for anxiety from muscle tightness and spasms before going to bed.
Try to find a good therapist to talk to. I spent 4 almost 5 years in therapy and it really helped. It can be challenging to find one who doesn't need his or her own therapist so try, if you can, no charge meet and greets. Some providers allow that. If you have a gut feeling that your therapist is a nut, run. Don't waste your time or money.
