"panic attacks and anxiety run in my family, and this helped me big time. i was scared to take any medicines after having a bad experience with another anxiety medication, but i took it finally and day three of my panic attack/no sleep was over! i could eat again and finally crack a smile. it did make me sleepy, and it felt a tad funny to walk. i only took them before bed to sleep unless i really needed it. it restored my confidence that i could be happy again and made me feel comfy just knowing i had them on me. i am off of them for now and on a different anxiety pill, because my doc didn&#039;t want me to become dependent on them. i do keep one or two in my purse for emergencies."
