In reply to HELP!!!!! Anxiety and Panic Attacks!, posted by Nic on September 26, 2000, at 9:26:10
Nic,
I also have very extreme anxiety and occasional panic attacks. I take Xanax (.5mg as needed) and it's been very helpful for me. I believe it's one of the strongest of the benzos. The downside being that it can be very addictive if not monitored closely. There are many other meds available for acute anxiety and panic, but this is the one that's worked best for me. Hope this helps.
And welcome to Babble!!!
