Lexapro might help you; it has virtually no side effects. Bring this up with your DR.

Trazodone, but finding the problem and overcoming it works much better.

From my own research, Paxil is best for panic disorders. It is also used for social anxiety disorders.

Sugar,chocolates or any sweets, just make you are not going to over eat. It will make you calm. Don't take so much anti depressant.

I would try Zanax. Take only minutes to work. But would ask your DR. what is best for you!

I suggest that you frankly tell your doctor all of your symptoms and problems. You should NOT be suggesting drugs to your Doctor. You should listen to his advice -- not people on the Internet who do not have medical degrees and have not seen your medical history. There are lots of good drugs and drug combinations for panic disorder. I am sure that your doctor can find the best one for you. It sometimes takes several attempts before you are happy (no side effects). This process is NORMAL.
