In reply to WORSE PANNICK ATTTACK YESTERDAY!!!!, posted by Jeroen on August 12, 2005, at 11:05:51
Hi J,
Panic attacks are just awful. I'm glad they gave you some lorazepam to calm you down.
Some antidepressants can help to prevent panic attacks. They should be started at a very low dose and increased gradually. You could try citalopram (Cipramil) - start at 5mg and increase gradually.

Hi J,
Cipramil can cause weight loss *or* weight gain! I think you said that you didn't gain any weight on other SSRIs so perhaps you won't gain weight on Cipramil.

Hi J!
>.....what do you think?
Clozapine might be helpful but I think you should give Seroquel a good trial first - don't give up on Seroquel yet!

Hi J,
How do you know that Seroquel caused the panic attack? I thought you had panic attacks before you started Seroquel.

Hi J :-)
Leponex is more sedating than the other antipsychotics. How do you feel about this? Perhaps you'd find it calming.

its worth a try but warning for agruculosis white blood cells that are killed
im taking seroquel, one of its side effects is also decreased white blood cells, i might be moree vulnerable for this when i start clozapine no?

Hi PJ!
>Ed, What are these drugs?
Which ones?
Citalopram = Celexa in US = Cipramil in UK and Belgium
Escitalopram = Lexapro in US = Cipralex in UK = Sipralexa in Belgium
Clozapine = Clozaril in UK and US = Leponex in Belgium
Love Ed xxx

Hi J!
>its worth a try but warning for agruculosis white blood cells that are killed
Agranulocytosis is uncommon but you must have blood tests once weekly to detect it at an early stage. You also need to know the symptoms of agranulocytosis eg. fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers, flu-like symptoms etc.
>im taking seroquel, one of its side effects is also decreased white blood cells, i might be moree vulnerable for this when i start clozapine no?
Seroquel very rarely affects white blood cells. Seroquel won't make you any more vulnerable to agranulocytosis if you start Clozaril.
Kind regards

Ed, When will I ever remember all the different names of drugs in the different countries? I know celexa, lexapro, etc. I just must be a dummy or maybe it's Alzheimers? BTW what are the symptoms of the above. I know short term memory loss but anxiety also causes this. Sorry Jeroen to hickjack your Thread but Ed is so hard to get ahold of these days. Fondly, Phillipa

You don't have Alzheimer's! Valium is bad for memory though :-(

Hi J,
I think he's afraid to prescribe it - due to the risk of serious side effects.

Hi J,
Perhaps he'll consider prescribing Leponex if you don't improve after a few more weeks on Seroquel?
