I take it and have been on it for 2 years. The biggest mistake people make is thinking it will work quickly or that it will reduce panic attacks. I thought it wasnt working when I first tried it and then one day about 6 weeks in I woke up and realized I no longer felt that constant low level underlying anxiety that I always did. It has helped me to deal with stressful situations easier than before. If you have panic attacks a benzo could help in an acute situation.
