[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 571149, member: 1233"] I am SHOCKED that the docs went for xanax first. From what I understand, unless you have a problem that makes other benzos not work, docs are supposed to try some of the other benzos first because they work longer and present far lower risk of addiction/dependency. I DO NOT hate xanax. I would NEVER have survived the last 2 yrs of pms with-o it. It just isn't the most effective benzo and it carries more risk than the other do. Your husband needs an antidepressant like prozac or lexapro. MANY of these are on the cheap medication list at Walmart, etc.... My husband takes citalopram and it works super well for his panic attacks. with-o the medications, the self help will likely be very frustrating but with them? they will be more effective and so will the work with a therapist. I am sorry you have to deal with the crises all alone. It really stinks, doesn't it? [/QUOTE]
