I was diagnosed with sever panic disorder in my early twenties. I tried everything (therapy, medication) but nothing really helped. I eventually became agoraphobic and wouldn't leave my house. I did a 10-day vipassana meditation course (http://dhamma.org http://dhamma.org), where you can't read or write or listen to music or talk. You basically just meditate the whole time. I had very bad panic attacks during the 10 days, but eventually meditation actually helped me to deal with it. I'm now in my forties and meditation is the only thing that truly helps me with panic attacks.
