Hi Jackie,
Currently, I'm not on an ssri or an antipsychotic. I just detoxed from benzodiazapines, so I am in flux. I was put on seroquel at too high a dose. It quelled panic and every other feeling! I can't really say--. Risperdal at a low dose helped mood fluctuations which had a trickle-down effect on panic and anxiety. I might retry it. .25mg. I had no discernible gain at a higher dose. However there is nothing like a benzodiazepine to stomp out a panic attack--but then I had rebound anxiety :(. Right now I take gabapentin as needed.... There seems to be different ways to approach panic. Afraid I'm not doing a very good job right now.... The best thing was dexedrine, but I built up a wicked tolerance! I guess a motto here is "YMMV". I'm sorry I can't offer you anything more substantial. Right now I am working up to leaving the house for a walk. Walking is good, running is better....
