Neither I nor anyone I've personally talked to about it has ever reported any benefits from SSRI's when used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. I'm willing to be corrected, if we have some DBers who have had good results with SSRI's.
To sum it up, I think Trampy's analysis is dead on. And I'd be very suspicious of any doc treating anxiety/panic conditions with an SSRI, who won't atleast give you enough (ideally) klonopin to give the SSRI 3-4 weeks to take effect.
I know a few people who have had good luck with Remeron, but personally I think it is too insanely sedating. Effexor XR in the AM and Rivotril/Clonazepam/Klonopin in the evening are a very effective combination for me. Don't think Effexor without the Klonopin would be effective, as Effexor can wind you up pretty tight. Suspect Wellbutrin SR ith Klonopin might work similarly to Effexor XR, though unlike Effexor XR, Wellbutrin SR is not actually approved for treating GAD. But Wellbutrin seems to have fewer sexual side-effects.
Unfortunately many of you, including the mods, have been less impressed by some of my posts written after washing down my PM Klonopin with a shot of vodka, then forcing myself to stay awake, because I was feeling so f'ing brilliant. Take comfort in the fact that there are many parallel universes where I'm sober (and maybe you aren't)
