> Have any of you noticed that it seems that people taking ssri's or med's in general for anxiety have worse side effects? I was a memeber of the celexa group at yahoo for about 8 months, and it also seemed to me that people taking it for anxiety had worse side effects than people taking it for depression? Weird!
> BrandyFolks that have panic attacks (situational or not), tend to be "over-tuned" into what their body is "telling them" and are generally med sensitive. I have a history of panic attacks and AD's that are used for panic have triggered intermittently increased panic attacks for me in a dose-dependent fashion. They (SSRI's/TCA's) have been useful overall to *reduce* the frequency, severity, and anticipation of panic attacks, but the only thing that has reliably worked for me to prevent panic has been clonazepam.
