I hope you talk to your dr honestly and perhaps she could give you advice on tapering the pills.
I know it definitely does make my panic attacks worse ,I'm scared to tell my doctor as think she will stop my pills altogether and I really do need them . Can I ask how you managed to stop and get it under control? See its the only pill that has ever been able to help me to live a half normal life having tried pretty much every one else .. Thanks for your reply
