Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi

I understand your concern.

In clinical review and practice duloxetine 90 mg is used to treat depression.

In anxiety or panic it has minimal role in such high doses.
Escitalopram is very useful to prevent panic attack.

2nd thing need to consider side effects of these drugs becuase nausea and dizziness can be a part of it.

My advise is to consult your doctor and get help.
If you have still panic attack after taking medicines then need to evaluate further change medicine if needed.

But it can only possible after evaluation by psychiatrist.

Get well soon.
Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. .
Thank you.
