Probably not. : Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder and anxiety usually negates sex drive; that is, when you are very anxious, sex is one of the last things your body wants. Also most medications used to treat panic disorder decrease sex drive and not increase it.

Panic: Increased libido is not a symptom of panic disorder. However, some people engage in behaviors to distract themselves from anxiety or depression. Sexual activity could serve as a distraction & potentially a release.
