I started having panic attacks about three years ago. It was horrible. In seemingly benign situations, like being right here on the computer, I would start freaking out. The symptoms are the same as many people have mentioned: dizziness, nausea, heart pounding, troubling swallowing, it goes on and on. At first my doctor thought that I had really bad migraines, which I have mild cases of. Instead, he put me on Paxil, and after 3 years on Paxil, I have only suffered a couple very minor attacks. Paxil has helped me tremendously. Unfortunately, the side effects are real, and I have gained about 75 pounds, I am always constipated, and get tired easily. Those side effects are a small price to pay though.
Of those of you who have had panic attacks, and take medication for it, what have you found to be the best medications? Paxil is nice, but I am not supposed to drink alcohol (I still drink anyways), and the side effects kind of suck.
