I hear you bluesilvy and I have tried Lex and I couldn't stay on it for more than a week because of the intensity, severity and frequency of panic attacks I had while on it. I truly believe it caused me to have nonstop panic attacks for days especially while I was driving. I esperienced the tingling, stomach tension, heavy breathing, and I clenched the wheel so hard my hands hurt afterward. My panic attacks don't usually last that long and I had a three day staight attack on Lex and another on Paxil. My doc won't give me Klonopin or anything addictive, but I am on BuSpar and it seems to be helping. Good Luck with yours, at least you have something for immediate gratification, I have to suffer through mine, unfortunately my insurance doesn't allow me to pick my doctor, but I am okay for now.
Let me know if you stick with Lex and if it helps?
