Hi
It might be worth trying this medicine under the watchful eye of your pdoc. It is not a 'typical' antidepressant and it is not an antidepressant. In fact, it's not that typical an anti-psychotic either since it is marketed for the treatment of co-existing anxiety and depression. I have never seen it advocated as a treatment for Panic Disorder.
I find it is a good anti-depressant (rapid acting), moderate anti-anxiety agent, and tends to make me more outgoing and sociable. That's at the low doses of 1-2mg per day. At these doses I never had any side-effects.
