Hi Luv,
I too agree with Myzen. I dont think a person that experiences panic attacks are ever fully the same. I mean, this is not necessarily a bad thing either. With treatment we can learn better tools to deal with what brings us the anxiety and learn to deal with it in a more productive manner rather then trying to run away from it.
In my case, I am dealing with depression and OCD as well as panic disorder. I currently take Effexor XR and Ativan as needed. In the begining I took the Effexor at night but I soon realized that it kept me awake. So I started a morning dose which works well for me. My PDoc explained that initially when starting a med, increased anxiety can be expected. After a week or so, this feeling passed. Give it some time. I understand what your feeling. Take care and Much love.
Jen
