I guess I'm interpreting "break through panic attacks"
as having an attack in spite of being on a level of
medication thought to be theraputic.

My attacks are extremely, physically painful and once
got me a trip to the ER via an ambulance and I kept
thinking "I'm too young to be having a heart attack"....

Extreme chest pains, numbness down both arms (usually
worse in left arm), sharp metallic-like clawing
rips of pain up through my neck and jaws, difficulty
breathing, and an extreme desire to not have anyone
else around - can't tell if it's an embarrassment to
have someone witness the attack or just not wanting people
around period.

Typical attack lasts 20-30 minutes leaving me with
very bad headaches and feeling completely wiped out.

I've had attacks last almost 2 hours. Those can
take a day or more to recover from.

It is also very hard to come back mentally from
an attack. I'm left feeling very vulnerable,
weepy and sad for a long time.

If Pakostar meant something else by Break Through
Panic Attacks, hopefully they'll post with an
explanation.
