> Hi - I too suffer from anxiety/panic attacks. I have used benzo's only when needed, but find that instead of taking them I will often just avoid a situation (usually regarding traveling outside my comfort area.) Thus, I don't have panic or anxiety on a daily basis, but I have unnecesarily restricted my life and activities. Have you experience agoraphobia as well? If so, do you find that taking the benzo's on a daily basis helps you to do the things you would normally avoid?

Hi
Unfortunately the dose of xanax that I was on did not keep me from avoiding going places I feel un comfortable about. Everytime I have to go somewhere, that dreaded feeling of anxiety hits me. I know how you feel, its been six years of this. With my therapist I am learning to plug along through all this. I'm hoping that Lexapro will help. Hang in there
