In reply to help - no meds working for Panic Disorder, posted by Jackster on July 7, 2001, at 4:25:35
This may not apply to you. Just trying to add something related to your post.
Patients who have panic disorder that is not responding to treatment, especially if accompanied by joint pain, significant fatigue or atypical, long-lasting panic attacks, and living in endemic areas, think of Lyme disease.
*************************
> I was on 40mg of Paxil for 3 years for Panic attacks. When I stopped and started it again - it was no longer effective. Since then I have tried Celexa (got a rash), Imipramine, Prozac & now Zoloft without much success. Both the Prozac & Zoloft seemed to increase my panic attacks (presumably because they are activating SSRI's). I have been on Zoloft 50mg for 2 months and have now gone up to 75mg. It doesn't seemed to have helped - although I realise the dosage may not be high enough. Every time I up the dosage I get worse panic attacks. (and it's costing me a lot of money). Can anyone recommend whether I should continue with the Zoloft or if there is another medication I should try?
