I am going to my doc who wants to put me on an antidepressant.
He put me on Zoloft which I did not tolerate well at all. He likes me to put input into things, and I would like to have an idea of which antidepressant for my panic attacks would be. He of course would make the final descion, but he does ask my opinion.
Any expierences out there?

Panic attacks may be defined as symptoms of anxiety disorders. They are unexpected serious health problems which  are sudden, unprovoked and appear to be destabilizing in nature. The development of panic attacks often leads to irrational behaviours known as Phobias. Just like several other disorders, panic attacks can also have serious mental and psychological effects. There are basically two types of panic attacks and they are; Panic attacks with agoraphobia and panic attacks without agoraphobia.

Some of the most notable panic disorder symptoms include;  breathing difficulties, chest pains, dizziness, feeling week, sense of terror or an impending doom,  feeling of a chilly sensation or sweating , numbness in some parts of the body{especially hands and fingers}, increases in heart beat, and general loss of control. Stress, depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the aggravated symptoms of panic attacks. Stress can contribute immensely to panic attacks especially when  the individual victim is obsessed with doing the same thing for a long period of time. Anxiety can be short-term or long term depending on the severity of the panic attacks.
