It's hard to say WHY you had panic attacks.  It could have been part of a discontinuation symptom from d/c'ing the Paxil (like a w/d), because while you were started on a new med (Zoloft) while coming off the Paxil, they aren't identical in their mechanism of action, and you could still experience some w/d.  Paxil is notoriously hard to come off of.  What was the dose you were at when you stopped taking it and what was the dose of Zoloft?  Did your doc taper you off the Paxil at all or just tell you to stop taking it?

I was tapered off paxil I still am taking 20mg of paxil but I was on 50 mg then tapered to 40mg to 30mg now still on 20mg. I guess the doctor said the zoloft was to stimulating for me and that caused the horrible panic attacks. What do you think of pristiq they want me to try that one now?
