In reply to Best antipsychotic to augment SSRI for panic?, posted by SpratNZ on March 23, 2014, at 4:16:07
Have you been on any TCAs? Mirtazapine? SNRIs? There are a lot of antidepressant choices out there. What SSRIs have you been on?
Using antipsychotics to treat panic disorder is counterintuitive-they antagonize seratonin which is in short supply. If I were to choose one, I'd go with Geodon - it agonizes key seraotonin receptors and is a SNRI to boot.
Have you tried GAbitril or Keppra? Both have had some positive studies in regards to treating panic disorder.
