grey goose,

over the years, i've taken them all. every body is different. i could tell you what worked best for me, but it might not for you. you just have to find the one that your body responds the best to.

i was on neurontin for pain...horrible side affects. i've been on xanax, valium, vistiril and klonopin. the xanax knocked me out after a couple of hours, but did the trick. i just didn't like having to sleep after i took it (even when i took the lesser dose). valium created a different kind of anxiety about 20 mins after i took it...bad for me...felt like i couldn't breathe good and a weird panic. the klonopin seems to help me very well with the least side affects. i take a 1/2 very rarely and only when needed. the thing about any of these drugs is...if taken regularly they'll lose their ability to help over time unless increased. oh, also, i took vistaril. i was a good drug, but the sleepiness that came with it lasted hours.

i do wish you luck in finding a med that works for you. when i was having daily/regular panic/anxiety, the dr told me to take the meds 3 times a day every day to trick brain into not having them regularly. talk to dr about that cause it seemed to work for me. i only take meds for panic about 2-3 times a year now, and still am dealing with an incredibly stressful lilfe.

i hope you find the med that will help you. i really do.

be safe,

kd
