Valium is a benzodiazepine like the Serax I took.

Well, back then I didn't pay much attention, just took what they told me, didn't know what class of drugs things were and I took pharmacy for 1 year but didn't like it. I knew valium was a tranquillizer, didn't seem to do much for me.

In about 2005 or 06, I started getting six awful panic attacks a day for no good reason at all. Couldn't walk them off or anything, just had to wait until they were over in about 1/2 hour.

Well, before they started giving me xanax, when the worst ones hit around supper time, I would get in my car and start heading for the ER, not intending to actually go in the ER. It worked. They subsided a few blocks from the hospital.

But the xanax was a problem because you are in an out; it doesn't hold. So they put me on clonazepam. It works a lot better for me but none of that stuff makes me really feel any better otherwise.
