I personally have tried all of those: Xanax, Valium, Ativan. They are all extremely habit forming with some wicked side effects and should only be taken during a panic attack.
Not a long term solution.
I take Elavil now (a tricyclic) anti-d that has helped enormously with my anxiety and panic attacks (and as a plus my IBS). I take only 10mg (that was all I needed)!!! Most people take between 25mg and 100mg. Remember that the drugs won't take away all your issues they will just help you cope with them. You need to be doing behavioral therapy and other forms of learning to calm yourself down.
