I have Panic attacks and depression along with mild PD symptoms. The Panic Attacks manifested themselves before the PD symptoms showed up. I take Zoloft for depression and the panic attacks. My PD med is Riluzole and Mirapex. For whatever reason this total combination has my depression and panic under control. Lanny D.
