Comment:
Suffer from constant anxiety and panic attacks. 1mg 3 times a day - eliminates fear component. Am able to think and function clearly although more drowsey and slow. Helps me to relax after a bad set of nightmares. Yes it does get addictive - been on it 1 year. Have to come off very slowly otherwise tremors and severe agitation - nothing I was not warned about!

Comment:
My brother's doctors used this drug and it caused severe confusion. Then, they used it a SECOND time with the same results. Either this was never mentioned or WHATEVER, they used it a third time and this third time may very well have caused his deathe. He could not breathe perhaps because he became so agitated and he had to be resassatated.
