Panic Attacks New Plan Scared!! (Top voted first)

o I've been on lexapro since end of November till now.. still having panic attacks that won't stop.. it's happening like every 5 days there so severe I almost end up in the hospital.. I do take .5mgs of klonopin as well. And they are still breaking thru out of the blue no reason for them.. a while back I had a bad experience with trying to get on prozac. I was hospitalized 2x n had to get off.. I was in a real bad spot .. the doctor is now suggesting I start paxil.. n I'm extremely scared to change meds n deal with all the start up side effects.. anybody out there can please give me so advice or some positive experiences..it would be greatly appreciated.. thank u

Hello, Renee! How are you doing? Have you start the Paxil, yet?

My ex-husband took it for years for depression and anxiety, he always had good results with it. My newlywed husband takes Zoloft and also has good results, it's another medication in the same class.

The FDA lists the typical SSRI side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain.

What dosage does your doctor want you to start? I think you may do best by starting low, then titrating up.
