I have Panic Disorder, I was in and out of mental health institutions as a teenager trying to get rid of them.

stimulants are probably first-line for panic disorders!!

I did start getting panic attacks from drugs. The first really full-blown one where I thought "woah, this isn't just normal fear, this is a serious problem" was from amphetamine.

After that, and after benzo withdrawals, I'd seriously get a fucking bad trip from something as simple as a cup of coffee. I became really hypersensitive to my body's own neuro-chemistry, like I'd pick out "oh my brain just reduced its own cholinergic activity for some reason" or "hmm 5-HT2a pathways in the visual cortex are active during dreams" and "sleep deprivation produces an effect almost identical to anti-cholinergics when it comes to perception"
blah blah blah

I actually think you can probably relate to me with all that. But yeah, the panic attacks. Out of no where I'd get an intense fear that I was dying, and couldn't figure out what was happening.
