I went for a long walk with the wife tonight and was feeling really agitated. I don't really know why. I am prescribed xanax for panic attacks and insomnia. This is the first time I have taken one for agitation. It worked great. Do any of y'all ever take a benzo on occasion for agitation and how does it work out for you?

I take Clonazepam and Diazepam for agitation at times and it really helps. However, when the agitation is severe they don't cut it and I need an AP or two depending on how bad it is at the time.

Ugh I need help with this, my agitation is really, really bad at times. Something to take the edge off would be super.

Klonipin usually helps me unless it is really bad. But I've never taken more than 1 mg at a time so idk if upping the dose would help in the bad situations.

I take Ativan. It works okay, tones down the agitation a bit but doesn't fully get rid of it.

I have clonazepam for agitation and sleep. I used to need it all the time for agitation but with the med combo I'm on now, I rarely need it for agitation. It's really calmed me down and wiped out the mixed episodes I was having. I use it every night for sleeping, though.
