I was on Paxil (40mg) for 3 years for panic disorder - then tapered off after feeling so good. Panic attacks came back - and when I went back on the Paxil it didn't work nearly as well. I then started trying a myriad of other drugs one after the other - Celexa, Imipramine, Prozac. By the time I was a week into the Prozac I was having the worst Panic attacks ever. Maybe it's the buildup of all the different drugs in your system. I went back on Paxil just to have a break from the meltdown and eventually kind of stabilised. I'm now trying Zoloft (again went through bad PA's starting it) - but don't know if it's the new drug, withdrawal from Paxil or both.
I can't recommend a drug - I suppose I could have increased the Paxil dosage but I didn't want the side effects to increase.
