I've had panic attacks due to an inner-ear infection. It's called vestibular disorder. Anyone who has never had a panic attack knows nothing about them, and is not fit to comment on them. If there's a hell on earth, it's a panic attack. And you have absolutely no control over them.

I agree with you, and we should not make judgements about those medications...they affect people differently, and stress is a factor. I am glad Army recognized this and is correcting his status.

I agree with you. My wife is about the most solid person I've ever met, but she had a panic attack after the birth of our first child. It was frightening for both of us, but fortunately we were able to get help before anything bad happened.

She recently gave birth to our second child, but we were prepared and had her taking Prozac immediately after delivery. I also have worked from home since the birth, and it's been a wonderful experience.

Ive had an inner-ear infection before. I couldnt walk for 4 days, but I sure as hell didnt dessert my country either. Sorry, I feel no sympathy.

My sister and an old girlfriend had panic attacks. It is absolutely a horrific experience. They can happen for no reason at the most random times. I've gotten phone calls at work, at 3 in the morning to go comfort them.

If that drug caused the panic attack, I can understand.
