Jay, that's an interesting article. I noted that she developed the panic attacks after a large dose increase. This has happened to me twice in the past (once with Prozac and once with Celexa). I found that 2.5mg of Prozac was anxiolytic, but when my seasonal depressions would start I would double it to 5.0mg. However, one time I was at the 5.0mg/day dosage and the depression was lifting and winter was nearly over and I experienced similar symptoms to that described in the article. I became out of breath easily, had difficulty breathing with the slightest exercise and that made me panicky because it felt like I was being "smothered". I dropped the dose in half and it resolved after a few days. With Celexa I started at 10mg and after a couple of weeks my depression was worsening and was told to double it to 20mg. Within two-three days I started to experience the same difficult breathing spells. I dropped it back to 10mg and it also resolved after a few days.
