Yes this helps,do you ever quit taking them for a month? I take valium now 30 mg a day and that keeps me from having panic attacks. Both of our medications are long acting and build up which is nice. I took Xanax for 33 years daily and when I quit taking it I had quite an episode. My diagnosis was change in mental status metabolic encephalopathy. I noticed it coming on I suppose 10 years ago. I didn't get the full brutal effect until my doctor retired and I did not get a new primary which as a result I lost my prescription for Xanax. My symptoms were horrible regarding withdrawal. I eventually end up in the emergency room followed by a lengthy hospital stay. My brain was unable to produce gaba by itself at this point in my life after having an artificially created Gabba . So I take the Valium to create gaba as my receptor is basically a stump. Wondering if you've ever had experience going off?

Do you know of any good doctors that prescribe hope and help for severe panic attacks and MDD depression ?
Thanks
