Wow, Cam, thank you!

I quit seeing that p'doc, btw.

That's very interesting for me to know. Again, thank you.

The ativan was useless for me back in the day, but it might've been too small a dose for my panic then. I couldn't take valium at all because it caused a peculiar anxiety for me because it made me feel "buzzed" and I felt I couldn't breathe well for about 20 minutes. I can't stand that feeling with the need for hypervigilence. Klonopin doesn't cause the slowed/altered breathing, works immediately and I can carry on without too much sedation (I'm prescribed the smallest dose and take a half a tab).

Anyhow, I rarely have panic anymore but when I feel my body "ramping up", I have klonopin available and it's done the trick every time...prior to the panic then when in full panic-mode as well. It also works WONDERFULLY on the nights that I can't sleep.

Thank you again!
