"for many years, i have suffered from debilitating panic attacks. i have taken anything you can fathom: benzos, (which do work but only for about 2 hours) antidepressants, etc. i was hesitant to take this medication, but, i&#039;m glad i did/ do. i noticed a significant decrease in anxiety attacks, (which i was having every day) on the first day! try getting that from an antidepressant! i currently take 30mg a day. i do get &quot;anxious&quot; but haven&#039;t had a full blown attack for months. i also take buspirone. for any mild anxiety i take gabepentin and hydroxyzine. (together) the only complaints i have are the weight gain, and overall lack of energy. i find myself wanting a nap on the daily. i&#039;d rather have the extra lb, than ever live likr that again."
