[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 708605, member: 1550"] I take Paxil. Its great for me but not everyone can take it. Many take zoloft. I cant. It is very individial.I would see if non medical help works first. It didnt for me, but they have better treatment now. EMDR is one I know about for PTSD (never tried it. Look it up). It is hard to withdraw from an antidepressant. Doctors say they arent addictive, but i dont know...the withdrawal on certain ones, Paxil being one of the worst, is horrible. Im afraid to try going off of it because I read horror stories about withdrawals. She only had one panic attack? See if it becomes a habit. I had panic disorder so bad I could barely leave the house, but its not as bad for everyone. The only thing that helped me was no caffeine for fifteen years and taking a benzo...it would kick in about thirty minutes later and I would be back to normal. I dont recommend benzos either. I do recommend cutting caffeine.8 If it becomes life altering she needs therapy...but there are alternatives to medications now. Research, research, research ! I did that before doing anything regarding my own mental health issues and my kids. Knowledge is power :). There is no one solution or treatment that works for everybody. We are all different. Thats why a medical professional is best. We are just moms and what worked for our kid or us may not work for yours. [/QUOTE]
