"i was switched onto this drug after taking lorazepam (ativan) which i was very happy with and had almost no side effects with. i started taking it combined with effexor, and it was horrible. i would take it, pass out for an hour, and wake up feeling the same as before. i could see how it would be good for a panic attack, but for general anxiety it is not very good. if you are on a constant dose, you will be taking them about 3 to 4 times a day which is too much to keep up with.

i also found much more intense effects from this drug, which i consider dangerous because i don&#039;t want to get addicted to them.

i think the drug is good for anxiety attacks, but for general anxieties i would ask for lorazepam or klonopin."
