I know what you're going through - I used to have panic attacks so bad I couldn't leave the house. I couldn't go over a bridge because I was convinced it would give way under me. Zoloft is approved for treating anxiety, so I would go with an anti-depressant like that. SSRI's take up to 6 weeks to kick in, so your doctor may give you some other meds to help mellow you out meantime - my pdoc gave me klonipin (a benzo) and Restoril to help me sleep, but I understand this is just til the SSRI kicks in. Hope this helped - I know others have given you pretty much the same message - and good luck
