hi..well, escitalopram and sertraline have already been tried..also there is a drug called paroxetine from the same group that takes care of panic disorder quite well..but before that, you are not receiving the optimum dose of the drugs you were prescribed..just use a single drug and only switch if it fails in full dosage, for example sertraline upto 200mg per day, after a considerable period of time which I think you were not advised..anyway, visit your psychiatrist once again and discuss with these issues..also psychotherapy may well help..so never lose hope..its a curable disorder..wish you good health..

hello
welcome to health care magic
First of all relax and don't worry.
You are suffering from "Panic disorder". The drugs which can be used are SSRIs like paroxetine, sertraline etc. You can start with paroxetine 12.5 mg.These drugs don't have significant side effects.
If they have, those does not persist for long time. So, have faith in your doctor and continue treatment for adequate duration as advised. You can continue clonazepam along with that.
I advise you to consult a psychiatrist for adequate treatment.
Hope i clarified your query
Good luck
Thanks
