My Doctor wants me to go on Meds for a Panic Disorder which has brought on Depression. I was on Effexor and had a bad experiance with it so i came off of it but when I was on it was going through a really really horrible time so my doctor couldnt tell if it was the meds or my head. Has anybody been on these meds??? Any positives or negitives i should consider before taking them??? Any help is appreciated!!!!

Get Xanax, (alprzolam)
It has no side effects isnt addictive if you use it as needed.
Works withn minutes.
use the .5 mg. as a dose.
If you have a really bad attack and just want to go to sleep in one minute you take two of them.
I have taken them as needed for over ten years and they have never failed me or caused even the slightest problem.
I would be dead without xanax.

Your Dr. can certainly put you on another anti-depression med since Effexor didn't agree with you.
and he can give you something for panic attacks. Xanax is a goo drug for it. But I have to disagree with the answer before mine. They are very addicting no matter how many you take. Sol be careful and don't extra ones unless the Dr knows. I take Effexor & use xanax when I need it. You just to have the Dr. get your meds chaged around and you'll be OK!
xanax

Lexapro is a good one. It worked for me.
