Has anybody with panic disorder found success in any ssri medications ? None seem to work for me but dont want to go down the benzo road for the rest of my life. I am not prescribed them but have been taking them every day for a month to feel normal as i feel like thats the only thing that saves me and makes me feel like my self . I usually have about 3-5 panic attacks a day and feel like im dying every single time. Need to figure something out asap . I just want to feel like myself again but feel like thats far fetched. every doctor appointment is far out and just made a psychiatrist appointment wich is a month away nobody seems to care wich sucks . I used to take lexapro before i ever even had a panic attack and just made me think suicidal thoughts . I was taking hydroxizine and zoloft once diagnosed but stopped only after a couple days because seemed to make my disorder 10x worse they say it takes 2-6 weeks but cant deal with the panic attacks every day .
