I had the same reaction; great for my depression. But I wasn\'t having panic attacks so-to-speak at the time I was on that, so I really don\'t know how it\'ll do for those...

I took paxil for years until I had 2 miscarriages and heard it caused birth defects. I switched to zoloft a few months ago nd it works ok not quite as good as paxil though
