Well, quite perplexing, this panic attack monster.
Anyway, just do what you have to do - get yourself
back on track before you try and conquer you 'job issues' - for, chances are, things at work have not changed and you don't have any control over that - unless you are the owner or CEO or the like. So, no matter what, get yourself better 'more able to tackle to outside world' (opposed to the world of panic/agoraphobiba). Get yourself stabalized. All this talk of Paxil - all it did for me was make by brain feel like it was just swirling around - the drug itself made me feel very 'off' - and that in itself was enough for me to feel panic. I needed something to take away that 'feeling' totally so I could function somewhat properly. And, they say there are no withdrawal from Paxil - think again.
Good luck - get control - use every tool you can think of to get yourself stable and calm.
