Well, as everyone is probably sick of hearing about by now, I am down on all SSRIs at this point. I was taking zoloft which initially worked to keep my panic attacks at bay but then paradoxically, as my dose kept going up, I was having breakthrough panic attacks that were debilitating even when I was taking 175 mg. of Zoloft a day. Since the SSRIs are supposedly so good for preventing panic, someone should explain that to me. I just think I am better off without them. I don't understand the mechanism but my guess is that the SSRI's have a broad range of action for a specific effect (if you are taking them for panic attacks) and I'm not so sure they are the be-all and end-all for panic attack sufferers as they are touted to be.
