"for immediate relief this drug is great. i take 0.5mg when i absolutely need it (2-3x every couple months.) but only reason i wouldn&#039;t give it a 9 or 10 because i did have a bad experience with this drug. i took it for 7 days straight 3x .5mg per day as prescribed by my doctor for generalized anxiety disorder. i abruptly stopped taking it because i didn&#039;t want to have to take it everyday and i ended up going thru a withdraw. i then got vertigo for a couple months, which was absolutely terrible. but i think it you use this drug responsibly and do not take it multiple days in a row it can definitely come in handy. i also have high blood pressure caused by anxiety, and usually get effective relief after about 30 minutes. hang in there!"
