I started out taking prozac 20mg daily.. then it dropped to 10mg and now I am just taking 5mg and still doing very well. I might be considering taking medication off my life.

yes it can. if you suffer from them go to a doctor to get help with them. if they are left untreated it can be a disaster.

I suffer from severe panic attacks, but I don’t think they can cause brain damage, although I am convinced that the amount of andrenaline released during a panic attack can’t be too good for your body over time. could maybe do some damage to the liver or kidneys…

hmm… I had alot of panic attacks when I was younger and now alot of people say I have unhealthy paranoia, and a small bit of schizophrenia. But who knows, it might not be that at all.

No - they are totally to do with negative thought patterns - a psychological rather than physiological response although of course they do have an impact on your body.

Panic attacks cause an increase in the stress hormone Cortisol, which in excess amounts has a multitude of negative effects, including impaired cognitive function.
