Arne, re Lexapro and treating anxiety/panic attacks..       03/18/07 07:51 PM Edit Reply Quote virag Reged: 02/22/07 Posts: 37 Loc: Florida Everyone is different and I have never taken an ssri to treat my panic attacks and agoraphobia. The Valium though goes a long way to putting the brakes on quickly when I feel in a panicky situation that could lead into a full blown attack. The ssri's take awhile to get into your system, sometimes weeks and even then you don't know if the dose you are taking is enough to keep you stable. And btw, Xanax and Valium are the same chemically except Xanax gets through your system in a few hours whereas Valium is in anywhere from 8 hours or even longer. I prefer the longer even balance of Valium during the panic times as opposed to the in/out of Xanax which leaves you high and dry and vulnerable. I am talking only about taking it for those intense times that you know will lead to an attack. The idea is to ward one off beforehand when possible. But if you think an ssri will work for you, then by all means give it a try...best wishes, Virag Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
