How can a psych clinic "take everyone off benzos?" That is just craziness!

In my experience with panic attacks, the only truly effective medication was Klonopin for me. I refuse to take it now, as it aggravates my depression. So, I use deep breathing and prayer now, but I do not get them often any more.

Buspar did not work for me. Some people say Seroquel can help them, so, might also look at that. But if you are getting frequent, lengthy panic attacks, the treatment of choice is generally Klonopin. How your clinic is ever going to take care of people with anxiety disorders with this odd policy is truly beyond me. Some people do really need them.
