In reply to Suggestions for different anxiety meds, please?, posted by Greg on May 11, 2000, at 13:12:26
> I currently take Xanax for anxiety and panic, it's been a life saver for me, until recently. It seems like if its not in my system constantly, I'm having attacks. Its been like this for the last 3-4 days. I've tried to ignore it, but today the symptoms are so intense that I can't. My heart feels like its about to burst out of my chest. I have had my heart completely checked out and it was fine. The bad thing about taking the Xanax here at work is that it makes me real tired and I find it hard to perform my job.

> I've got a call into my doc and would like to get some suggestions from anyone who's had success with something other than Xanax for anxiety.

> As always, I appreciate any advise you can give me, and yes, I know, YMMV.

>I use to take Librium (a benzo) in the very beginning, it helped with the panic attacks and later it just helped with my nerves and the panic attacks broke through. That's why I am currently not taking any benzo's. I know alot of people do for panic attacks but they did not stop mine. Gloria
