I would try some herbal tea, breathing exercises or maybe just sleep less before you commit yourself to a life long addiction to potent drugs like these. Sounds like this doc is doing an advertisement for the drug industry.

i was just prescribed lorazepam and citalopram. I have never taken meds like these before. I have panic dissorder and anxiety. i have trouble sleeping because i worry alot about any and erverything. they started me off at a half mg of lorazepam twice a day and 20 mg of citalopram once a day. they have just upped it to 1 mglorazepam 3 times a day ad 40 mg or citalopram once daily. I have been reading about these meds and although they seem to be helping i read its not for long term. so at some point are they going to take me off? and if so what effect will that have on me?

First line should be CBT not pills!

but some people need the pills so they can get to the appointment's for cbt
cbt will help get to the root of the problem but can take a long time before results are seen |

Nutz ... primary care should (MUST) be CBT!
If you need to get loaded prior CBT (except the first few sessions) then you have a world of problems dude. If those Meds work for you then all power! |

The Moon in service-oriented Virgo gently urges you to help the ones you love. It is the many little things that add up, so be aware of the details in your relationships. Just spending five minutes with someone can make all the difference.
