Klonopin is unbeatable for panic disorder. I haven't had a single panic attack since starting it daily 2 1/2 years ago at 1 mg/day. Plus, I haven't had to increase the dose, nor do I have any side effects.
I hate SSRIs and found that the ones I tried increased the frequency of panic attacks and generally made my life miserable (haven't tried Lexapro, though). Sensible doctors will give benzos like Klonopin long-term (probably the safest of all these meds), but sensible doctors can be hard to find.
