Just been prescribed this for panic attacks, anyone else take them?
Do they help?

I really liked them. I still got anxious but my heart didn't race, my hands didn't shake and without all the physical stuff going on, the mental stuff was a lot easier to deal with.

Sadly I've got asthma now and can't have them any more - but they were very helpful.

Been on them for 6 years for migraines and later on anxiety they work fine. make me hungry though which has lead to weight gain. Give them a go and see how you get on. Good luck

They are really good for zapping the physical effects of a panic attack.

I have found them quite good for stressful situations no side effects, not sedating so no drowsiness, give them a go.

Wonderful things. Stop the awful physical feelings of anxiety without making you zombified - I can highly recommend.

I have them for occasional bad panic attacks. Marvellous things.

I'm on them for migraines but My God are they awesome. My anxiety and depression are at an all time low.

I still think some anxious stuff but they stop me for having the physical symptoms and I don't obsess so much anymore.
