Okay, let me say first that although I do suffer from mild panic attacks, I use this drug for anxiety. I am almost 50 years old. I am the unfortunate recipient of flawed family genes (medical issues). High blood pressure, migraines, depression, along with others. In my youth I do not recall having anxiety or panic. Over the last several years the panic and anxiety has increased greatly. I have three grandchildren that I take care of often. My 7 year old grand daughter is with me for several hours at least 4 days a week. She is a VERY well-behaved child. I still find at times I get anxious and cannot deal with her without losing patience. When I am at my grown son's hockey games, which I greatly enjoy, I often have to take this drug. The anxiety is overwhelming! I take half a tablet and within 20 minutes or so I feel so calm. It does not make me loopy, sleepy, or dizzy. I simply feel a sense of calm. Please beware! I hear this drug is very addictive. i take it once or twice a week but have never been addicted to anything.
