However, they can be life savers for those with true Panic D/O (and Klonopin is thought by some to be the least habit forming). Don't give up on meds and try some good therapy to go with it. Lots of great relaxation techniques out there.
My friend got on Lexapro about two months ago, and says it's the best thing that ever happened to him. Says he never realized that he was his own worst enemy, until Lexapro cleared things up for him. Just sayin'....
