Wow, you guys are lucky. The first time I panicked in my life lasted for about 35 minutes. But the second time, where I induced it myself, it lasted for 4 days straight! I should have gotten help, but my pride got in the way and before I knew it, 4 days had passed not eating, sleeping and begging God to take my life! I have since been able to mentally suppress the panic triggers, but just had a relapse last week. I am doing better, but still fighting it with God's help!

Mine can last for hours also. Usually some of the symptoms go away after an hour or 2, but there's always one or 2 symptoms that last longer

I was in denial for years insisting I wasn't experiencing panic because of the length of my attacks. Finally I agreed to take a program similiar to the one on this site because I felt what the heck did I have to lose and in the meantime I'd keep on getting more tests done. Well the program was surprisingly effective and I did discover that the "peak" of most of my attacks probably was about 10 minutes but often I had panic on top of panic or the worst sensation would leave but I'd still have anxiety and anxiety and anxious thoughts can last 24 hours. Hope this helps.

You know, I have all these books I have bought on panic attacks and overcoming and such. All that I read gives the classic symptoms but they generally say that a panic attacks last 10-15 min. Well, I don't find that with mine. I usually feel panicky for much longer than that and sometimes it just stays with me all day long. If I take a Xanax it will pretty much get rid of it, but the after effects of the panic seem to stick around for hours and even sometimes the next day I feel like ****. What about you guys??
