Tranquilizer made me panic.

I don't seem to remember the name of the medication. But it was not a typical tranquilizer. I just remember looking it up in the PDR (this was before the internet) It was supposed to work by lowering the serotonin level. For about 4 days it worked great. I was on about 4 milligrams. Then i was working and suddenly with no warning i had a huge panic attack. It happened a few times before i realized what was going on.

Then the doctor reduced it to One milligram a day and i started using it as an antidepressant.
