In reply to help - no meds working for Panic Disorder, posted by Jackster on July 7, 2001, at 4:25:35
I hasven't time to read all the replies, so this may have been mentioned already, but I have low dose anti-psychotic to be a huge help with the panic i suffer. I have just been moved onto olanzapine which seems to be better than the risperadone i was on (this caused much toi annoying restless leg syndrome)
good luck

> 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?
