I was recently diagnosed with hypoglycemia, and have been having panic attacks for about two years. I think there is a connection. When my sugar goes down, first I get the shakes, then I get disoriented, then I completely freak out..can't breath, increased heart rate, I hyper ventilate, my hands go numb...it's the worse feeling ever! Ii have been taking Paxil for a year and a half and it does seem to help. I don't get to the "point of no return" , as I call it, and I am able to calm my self down. I have gained about ten pounds since I've been on it and have heard that that is a side effect of the drug, otherwise it was a good choice for me.
