Remember that that type of pill takes something like 3-6 weeks to start working.
I remember when i first got my pills i looked at the side affects and had a massive panic attack.

*fingers crossed that they work for you*

A lot of people say that they get worse before they get better. I hope the side-effects aren't too bad for you though.

I was just looking back at this post and i noticed that the pills you are getting are the same ones i am on just now. I have been on them for just over a month and i have been feeling ok most days. I am sure they will work for you.

The reason for your panic attack was proberly a subconsious thing. I know i have not had a panic attack while being on them.
