If it's any consolation, I too had a lot of panic attacks, much increased when I began Cipralex (Lexapro in the US). At first it was unbearable, especially bad at work, but after awhile it did level off and start to help. Now I haven't had a real panic attack in awhile, though I still do have some depression and some other irksome side effects. Not as bad as Effexor so far though - my mind isn't so fuzzy and I don't get as much of the 'electric shock' thing going on.
Your panic attacks sound more severe than mine though, so I hope you can get some good advice from your doctor. Just thought I'd say, 'I feel your pain'. :)
