Tina - Paxil™ (paroxetine) or other SSRI depending upon certain individual factors. I'm not sure if you have tried it, but that would be my first choice for you, if I were involved in your treatment. Remember, you have to get through the first month of hell (increased panic attacks, drowsiness, feeling like sh**, and other start-up side effects) before the Paxil really kicks in. So, I probably be on the phone to you at least once a week (for the first month), making sure that you were still plodding along, and helping with any of "blahness" that was occurring.
Hang in there, darling. - Cam
