Tina: I agree pretty much with Chris' response and would like to add that your prescribing doc should give you a dosing regimen that is best for you.

In general, for occasional anxiety you should take the occasional benzo. If, however, you are having the attacks on a daily basis or oftener, you probably want to discuss a regular dosing schedule so you can "stay ahead" of the attacks.

You don't want your brain to get in a pattern of controlling you with an anxiety attack whenever it wants to.

You may want to study Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to learn to possibly diminish the attacks before they get too far gone without medication. A good book on this is; "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook", by Edmund Bourne, Ph.D. It's in paperback and readily available.
