I was on xanax for years, and pamelor, not me out, but I did not have panic attacks on this, but I could not function on these medications, then I took ativan for so long I noticed no help, so I stop it, on my own alittlle at a time, and I do not want to get back on this stuff, I could not take Zoloft, one dose torn up my stomach!!!
