"i experienced unremittently high anxiety for almost a year before trying this medication.  panic attacks at least every third day, sometimes more than once each day, so severe that i visited the er at least twice a month.  xanax helped for a few days but after that just made things worse and caused withdrawal even when taken less often than prescribed, buspar did nothing at all, and celexa barely helped.  finally a nurse gave me a sample of this medication.  it was a miracle drug.  after a month anxiety-free i was able to stop taking it and now feel great.  side effects were so mild compared to other medications i&#039;ve tried that i did not even notice them.  it works much better than dramamine for nausea too though it does make you sleepy"
