I had my first panic attack while I was in St Louis training for a pharmaceutical job. It came out of the blue on evening while I was in bed watching a football game, and of course I freaked. After all the heart tests etc my doc put me on Paxil and I had great results. Now 4 years later I, like an idiot, took myself off paxil and within 4 months had my fist panic attack since 96. There should be no reason for me to be going through this. I am in the best shape of my life...I am 34 and have been training for 4 months for a triathlon. I've lost 20 lbs added muscle and I just don't understand what's going on. I did just have a beautiful baby girl at the end of May, which could cause some stress, but this? Now I'm back on Paxil, terrified to exercise and feel pretty alone. On top of it all Paxil is making me dizzy, which gives me something new to worry about. Sorry guys. I just needed to vent. I have a great wife and newborn.....i just want to beat this thing and feel like me again. I hope the Paxil side effects go away soon I'm on day 12. Paxil didn't give me any side effects 4 years ago. Oh well we'll all get through this.
