It sounds like this medication is not for you. If possible I suggest for you to find another doctor or maybe even a phyciatrist to help you in your search for the right medication. I have been through about 6 different meds. Most of the time you should take a combo of medications to level you out. For example: I take Trazadone, Ativan and Effexor. The Ativan relaxes me while the trazadone keeps me from geting too relaxed so that I don't fall into deep deppression and the Effexor "only taken at night" helps so that I'm not tired through out the day. But still relaxed. I hope that makes sence. Effexor is an upper, Trazidone is also an upper and Ativan is an antianxiety med. It works pretty good. I have tried Celexa and Luvox also. Celexa was ok just not good enough for me and the Luvox was awful. See if you can switch to a different doctor. If you are having panic attacks you need to take something to relax you and depression you need something to give you a jump start. Upper and a downer to level you out. Your doctor needs to be more open minded. There are many, many medications out there to try. If one does'nt work try another until you find the med for you. Sounds to me like you are having side effects from this med. That should be a warning sign for your doctor to put you on something else. I hope this all makes sense to you. I hope this helps.
