Since you are pregnant, if you think it's even a possibility, have you considered taking nothing as a preventative and just using Xanax when they happen? People's whole systems change a ton during pregnancy and it might turn out that your body just naturally has fewer or less severe ones.
I found a high dose of klonopin to not be good for some of my symptoms (irritability or anger). While I felt overall mellow, it was as if I couldn't think as clearly or quickly or control myself as well and so things that didn't normally get out of control, did. I'd get irritated and suddenly spiral into throwing the phone or something, which I never would have done before. Disinhibition is what that's called. Probably not similar, but I thought I'd mention it as klonopin doesn't help everything.
How does caffeine affect you? Have you had to swear off of it because it predisposes to the panic attacks?
