Hi, I have panic disorder, (about 7 years now) and have been on Klonopin and Pamolar as a maitenence program. I just recently decided the birth control pill may be a good idea for my current situation. To be specific, I was prescribed Loestrin FE 1/20. If anyone with panic disorder has tried the birth control pill, let me know how that worked out. Thanks.

I have panic disorder, depression. I am on Effexor XR and klonopin. I also take Loestrin 1/20 Fe. I have had no problems with it. I also take it 3 months in a row, so I only have my period every three months. I was having migraines with my periods, so my doctor put me on this schedule. good luck.

Actually, my anxiety has decreased tremendously. I think maybe hormone treatment should have been an option a LONG time ago~ sorry to hear it had an adverse affect on you. Good luck.
