@lizziel1 What other things has your doctor suggested to try, addressing your panic attacks? Perhaps looking into something not as strong as a benzodiazepine will be of benefit. What do you do now when you feel a panic attacks coming on? Have you been taught any coping skills to lessen the negatives of a panic attack? I am sure the doctor has your best interest at heart.

I’ve tried several medications. Including beta blockers, the last thing they prescribed was a drug similar to Benadryl. Now that’s a laugh! 🙄
Please don’t patronize me by saying they have my best interests at heart. They already admitted it’s because of lawsuits and the DEA cracking down on Benzo scripts.
My health is declining from this severe anxiety. I’ve lost 20 pounds, because it wreaks havoc with my GI tract. I can’t drive, I wake in the middle of the night with panic. And on the verge of ending it because I can’t deal with it.
