For anxiety attacks, Xanax might be the best suited of the BZDs to treat them. I think this is a pharmacodynamic thing rather than pharmacokinetic. I didn't like Xanax. I found it too relaxing.

Jeroen and Xanax has a slight antidepressant action. I used it exclusively for years. Low dose too. Phillipa
