Anxiety Help - Anti Anxiety Medications & Drugs As Needed?

Anti Anxiety Medications & Drugs As Needed?

Does anybody know of any anti anxiety medication that you can take just as needed?

In response to your question about anti anxiety/panic disorder medications. I understand that you would only like to take these on an as-needed basis, which is good. Some people with extreme cases of panic attacks or generalized anxiety disorder want to be medicated 24/7 which many times leads to addiction and if they go off the medications then they have rebound symptoms which are much worse than the original symptoms that lead them to take the meds in the first place.

Then there are the as-needed type of anti anxiety medications, the most common class being the �benzodiazepines� which include Xanax (alprazolam), Valium (diazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), and Klonipin (clonazepam).
