HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor I can understand your situation. I appreciate your effort to seek online support. Circle contains Escitalopram which is an SSRI. There are various other SSRIs available, and they are quite effective in panic disorder. But you have to take the medication for long time (maybe 2-5 years) as you are experiencing the symptoms again. You may start with Paroxetine CR 12.5 mg or sertraline 25 mg. For sleep problems, you can have sedatives like clonazepam, lorazepam, alprazolam etc. Consult a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and treatment. Hope it helps Good luckRegards
