The two can be combined. Perhaps prozac is not cutting it for your panic attacks. You may want to try a different core medication (other than prozac).

Prozac is regarded by many as the most anxiogenic of SSRIs -- I found that it made me extremely "wired" even after months of use. My pdoc doesn't like to prescribe it for anxiety patients because he says that it can induce panic attacks in some people. I may not be typical (I had an even worse reaction to Zoloft), but you might try other antidepressants (NOT Wellbutrin).

As far as I know, there's no problem with combining Klonopin and Prozac, although of course you should consult your doctor first. In my experience, Klonopin goes with just about anything.
