This post is just a question for research and not a suggestion. I would love to see comments about what people think about this.
Many people suffer from panic attacks. Sometimes the attacks last only a few minutes and for some people they can last for hours.
Many things can cause these attacks and for people taking strong medications, giving them even stronger drugs to counter these panic attacks sends them into a period of chemical instability.
What if someone who has a panic attack and wants to be able to relax without overloading himself with additional medications could just inhale laughing gas (Nitrous Oxide) for an hour or so and relax. Hopefully this would help the attack pass and the person can go back to normal.
This should only be allowed in supervised clinics to prevent abuse but might give many patients a better quality of life until they find the cause of these attacks and manage to eliminate them by a more compatible treatment protocol.
