Funny .... I have never actually seen an SSRI and especially not Effexor effective at blocking panic attacks. The only meds I have seen prevent panic attacks are benzos. Also I have seen phenelzine/nardil work multiple time at extinguishing general anxiety and phobia and lessening panic attacks. I think MAOIs are believed to be the single most effective ADs for anxiety and severe depression. I just assumed all this about SSRIs/effexor being good at panic was hype pushed by the drug companies. But this is my personal experience and I could be completely wrong.
