1. Try Effexor XR - it is more effective than SSRIs for Panic Disorder. I'd recommend a dose higher than 150mg/day, since up to 150mg it acts like an SSRI.
2. You can use some Klonopin for your first month on Effexor. Take the Effexor dose up fast till 225mg/day and wait a couple of weeks. It should do.

> I'm not on anything right now except St.John's Wort (not effective enough although a little helpful) and am supposed to experiment with adding Buspar when my family returns from the holidays. My reason for interest is that the MAOI's have been the only med's to help me with panic/agoraphobia (although I can no longer tolerate Parnate -weird side effects the second time around) and can't handle the increased anxiety/panic storms I experience from the SSRI's.
> If Buspar doesn't work or isn't tolerable my pdoc wants me to try Paxil again (caused a nightmare of panic attacks for me in the past) at a very low dose and ramp slowly. I'm not hopeful about either.
