Consult a real doctor if you're having serious problems. Don't think you will get much help here.

I took finasteride for a week, and I had to stop due to the sides.

One effect I notices was that it calmed me down. To be honest, I need mental sharpness in my job, so I stopped it. I didn't like the calmness it gave me, it made me too laid back.

However, I didn't use it long enough for my body to get used to it. So , when I stopped I didn't notice anything.

hellfire,i might have to take it now for the rest of my life to avoid panic attacks.jesus this cant be right surely.anyone else find it calmed them downm?

The panic attack was triggered by the fact you were drinking red bull and reading the article at the same time and thought this could happen to you, either conscience or subconscience. The thought crossed your mind, your adrenaline got pumped, which in turned gave you the "fight or flight" instinct, triggering panic attack. finasteride or anything else has nothing to do with it. And if I could blame finasteride for this i would, I'm not a fan of the crap.
