Hi Outsider,
If you don't take well to paxil, try lexapro. Low incidence of side effects, and good as an AD, and panic as well. Start with 10mg - of course, you will have to give it some time to reach a base level in your body. Also, I noticed one individual already posted it, but buspar is the only anti-anxiety drug that isn't a controlled substance (at least in the states!), so it's propably worth your pocket cash. And the other route would be mood stabilizers, such as lamictal or similiar, but while effiecient for GAD (general anxiety disorder), Panic Disorder, and Agoraphobia, they might be over kill. Also, deep breathe - inhale for 4, hold for 4, release for 7. (Shallow breathing can definitely trigger a panic attack.)
