Didnt work for me I suffer extreme panic attacks and I deal with some amount of panic on a daily basis. The problem I experienced with Paxil, and this may be true of all drugs that fall into this class, was restless sleep with vivid dreams/nightmares. My panic is always worse in the morning, often waking up in a sweat with my heart beating out of my chest, and the lack of restfull sleep wasn't helping. I've just been switched to Lexapro and hopefully I will tolerate it better.
