"given the length of time (10 years) i&#039;ve been on the medication, my doctors don&#039;t want to take me off it because of the addictive issues. it still works extremely well if i take it in time (when i feel that an anxiety attack is getting ready to start). after the onset of the attack, the medication no longer works.

even though i developed additional anxiety issues, my doctors don&#039;t want to use it for that because it will only be feeding my addiction and not the condition."
