Dr C isn't a fan of Xanax, and advised against it since I had some Hooked On Phonics issues with another, similar thang. I've done well with the Valium, from four a day when I was at my most wig to, now, half of one every week or two. It's also inexpensive, which is always a plus.
I never tried Valium. Generic Xanax for me too. Never liked it much, though I had a number of friends who would have gladly consumed all the Xanax I didn't want. It rather than calming me, I would just go directly to the post-panic floppiness and spaciness without the actual attack. No golden glow.
No glow for me either. Just a numbness of emotions and a spacy-ness that results in me not being able to do anything else except go to bed because I cannot do any work. :/
Luckily, I do not have to take anything unless the attacks are severe to a point I cannot control them in any set way. Luckily, I have only had to take the meds perscribed to me only once in the past month or so. *comfort hugs*
I love valium. I took it back when I had a horrible, horrible job, a boss from hell, and panicked all of the time-- one of those blessed little pills, though, and I felt normal.
I've long been threatening to load up a semi-automatic dart gun with anti-depressants and tranks and do a mental health Littleton at the next family gathering. It would be a lot easier if I could just drop it in the tequila bottles, but there is that pesky "Don't take with alcohol" warning.
I've decided I'm going to carry a pistol loaded up with Haldol, for a couple of my least favorite relatives. Nail'em right in the ass and they'll just fall over immobilized and twitch with tardive dyskinesia. Chemical restraints, whoo-hoo!
