Hi, There are probably other lists devoted to panic disorder, but I am starting here since I have PD and experience panic attacks. Until recently, it has not been an issue, but recently (the past week) has come to the forefront of my life. I experience hot flashes, faintness, fear, crying, exacerbation (sp?) of PD symptoms, decreases in on periods, and am overwhelmed by everything. It's primarily during off periods that this occurs. It's extremely dark. I already take Paxil for depression, and that particular SSRI antidepressant is recommended to alleviate panic attacks. I do fine for a couple days, then something happens that puts me over the edge. For example, this morning I got a call from my wife reporting that my 83-year-old mother had been in a car accident. She was okay, but my response was panic symptoms. I'm interested in hearing from others who experience panic disorder, and how you've dealt with it--both medications and lifestyle/counseling.
