"i have chronic anxiety associated with ptsd and chronic panic attacks. i was given this for about 4 months with no effect on my panic whatsoever. i had a doctor that was dead set against benzodiazapines and she later put me on buspar for 8 months which was also worthless.  i have switched doctors and am currently on 0.5mg of xanax 2 x day and it takes care of all my symptoms.
