PMS & Panic Attacks?

I always seem to go through my panic attacks right before I get my period. Is that normal? Does anyone else get it over here? And does anyone have tips?
I used to take Paxil antidepressants but I stopped now I heard you can take meds just while you're on your period. Is that true and doesnt that get you hooked back on with side effects?

Help asap!

" YES I get panic attacks during PMS. That's the worst part! I don't know about antidepressants just during that time but it could work if it is a very low dose. Ask your doctor. Or maybe you could try herbs such as kava or Gotu Kola. "
