I have panic attacks, though pretty infrequent these days. I control them with xanax and the "don't panic" book, which I think is pretty good.
btw, Paxil appears "addictive" because it has a very short half life. Its an SSRI just like Prozac, but prozac has such a long half life that if you stop taking it the drug leaves your system so gradually that you'll be weaned off if by the time it gets out of your system. The tradeoff is that it also builds up very slowly and takes ages to start working.
Paxil starts in 1-2 weeks. Prozac can take 4 weeks or more.
