Jono_in_adelaide,
A study that compared inositol with fluvoxamine as a treatment for panic disorder (and found the two to be comparable, with inositol reducing total panic attacks by more than fluvoxamine) used up to 18 g/day of inositol:

Another older study that found inositol to be superior to placebo in the treatment of panic disorder used 12 g/day of inositol:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7793450
I'd probably aim for 18 g/day if I were looking to maximize the supplement's effectiveness. As you seem to be aware, inositol doesn't seem to pose significant problems as far as side effects are concerned.
