> Greg: XANAX is clonazepam isn't it?? I'm taking clonazepam in the brand name Rivotril and it's not working--what's different about Xanax that makes it work better???
Tina,
> I feel for you as I have panic attacks occasionally also. I take Xanax for them, it's extremely strong and usually a 1/2 mg will get me thru an attack, sometimes it takes a full mg. It's very addictive though (from what I've read here, most meds are...) and my doc advises me to only take it when absolutely necessary. It might be worth looking into. Can you talk to your doc and see what he/she recommends?

I have them at home now, when I'm doing nothing at all. I can't live like this, like a prisoner. I'm taking clonazepam and celexa but it's not enough--I'm losing it here. Anybody?????
