Hi Gloria,
Waaaaay before I even considered taking a stimulant, klonopin put the lid on my panic attacks. SSRIs I had tried with it also helped with my anxiety-related issues, but not my depression. Switching to a TCA (nortriptyline) takes fairly good care of the depression, but some of the anxiety (more along the lines of OCD-like behaviors than panic attacks) came back with a vengeance. I've been on Ritalin now for a week; within a day, it had started easing the rest of my anxiety. So go figure this one out somehow -- between a benzo and a stimulant, my anxiety/panic seems to be down for the count.
cheers,
bob
