Roxanne, don't let the fear of side-effects keep you from trying antidepressants. I have tried many differents types of these drugs, and the only side effect I have ever had was with the ones that cause fatigue. Since I already have extreme fatigue as part of my depression, those antidepessants made it worse. Other then that, nothing has ever been a problem as far as side effects, my only problem has been trying to find an antidepressant that will work for me. I am actually on Celexa (20mgs./day) right now and have had no side effects at all. Almost everyone has a different reaction to each of the antidepressants. All you can do is try it and see what happens. If the Celexa doesn't work out there are many other options, just don't let worries about side effects stop you from taking something that could turn out to be just what you need for your panic and depression. Good luck and keep posting, so we'll know how you are doing! CarolAnn
