Prozac? That is just another anti depressant. I am in no a medical professional, so I am not sure exactly why you are taking the medication that you are. But Benzodiaphines are anti-anxiety medications, a popular one would be Xanax. These medications would be geared directly against your panic attacks. But again, I am not sure what would be best for you, only your doctor could tell you that. And I am not sure if they give Xanax to children (minors). I know Lexapro is a popular drug given to teens, but I am not sure if it would help you best in this situation.
Either way, definitely bring up the fact that your panic attacks are increasing and that you feel the medication is not helpful. No reason to be on a medication that is not helping you.
