Is there a anti depressent medication good for panic attacks?

25 Jul 2012

Wow, maybe you should just never cool down! Seriously, just wondering if you told your Doc all this and if so, just what response did you get, what does he/she recommend as a med? Let us know so we can comment on the recommendations, you've already tried so much, I can better help if I can know what your Doc says and what else (if anything) you may have tried.

Hope this hepls a bit for the future answers.

Hello Morton! I had extreme panic attacks at one time and the dr put me on pamalor and once it kicked in a couple weeks later I felt great and no more attacks. I also take trazodone at night. The trazodone helps with anxiety and sleep.. I hope this has helped.

I have taken Xanax for my panic attacks & anxiety.
The good thing about this med is that you can take it during the day for anxiety & then if you feel an anxiety attack coming on it is made so that it will actually melt under your tongue quickly to get into your system to ward of the attack. You should check with your dr. to see what he thinks.
Best if luck Kathy

Hello Morton. You might try Paroxatine (Paxil) Its also a SSRI but works differently from the Prozac and Zoloft. Fairly comfortable as to side effects. Regards and best of wishes, pledge

Hello,
I too suffer from extream anxiety, panic attacks and depression and PTSD I have for years and 6 mo ago finally said enough was enough my Dr. suggested Effexor XR and so far it seems to work.
It won't stop a major attack but the anxiety is somewhat better I too take colonapin at night.
My opinion I really don't think there's anything that gets rid of it completely unless you take so much medication your a Zombi but even a little relief is welcomed.

Cymbalta helped me and in about 3 days, works quickly!

I was just put on clonodinewhich is for high blood pressure but also helps with anxieties by slowing down the heart and makes u feel relaxed. I am also on cymbalta, serequel, lamictal for anxiety depression and bipolar disorder

You could try neurtonin in high doses ( 1800 to 2400 mg a day). It should help with the anxiety but may cause fatigure.
