Dear Tina,
It is my understanding that you must take it on a regular basis for it to work, not "as needed," like a benzo. I was told by my doc that it is not fast acting and you may have to wait three to four weeks to see results. It seems to work best for those with mild symptoms of anxiety and not for those with, say, panic attacks.
It is effective for some but as John says, good response is rare. I have heard it descibed by one doctor as "the world's most expensive placebo."
Good luck. I hope you are one of the few.
Karen
