What can I do about my constant panic attacks?

I have social anxiety disorder which causes me anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis. Lately they’ve become so overpowering and frequent that I can’t even leave my apartment (for work, to go to the store, etc). I have tried antidepressants in the past, but they made me suicidal.

I am scheduled to see a psychiatrist but where I live it usually takes weeks of waiting to get in. What can I do?

Where to go for treatment for social anxiety disorder?

My doctor recommended I go into a residential treatment facility for social anxiety disorder for several weeks. She didn’t really know where was good though. I was wondering if there were any really good treatment places for it in the U.S.

What’s the best MEDICATION treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder?

Please don’t list any benzodiazapenes.

Please list medications only, and no miracle cures. Please don’t answer if you dont have social anxiety and have never undergone treatment; in other words, dont post what you read on a website. I’m looking for honest answers from personal experience. Please don’t mention any kinds of "therapy" (cognitive, group,etc.) I’m only interested in medications, preferrably those currently available in the US.

I know that everyone responds differently to medicine, but I’m basically just asking what (if anything) has worked for you.

Best pharmacological treatment for social anxiety disorder?

For the last few months, I have been on 20mg of Paxil to treat my social anxiety disorder. It has certainly helped, but resulted in weight gain and an increase in cholesterol. What other medications have people found effective, which do not cause drowsiness or weight gain?

I am not interested in benzodiazepines, natural treatments or CBT.
