Need serious help, for panic attacks and anxiety!

for the last year my anxiety has been hurting me bad.  I have on average 5 panic attacks a day, they put me on buspirone, and paxil.  I used to be on clonazopam, and xanax extended release, and those medecines worked wonders. what can i do, I beleive that even librium would help more, but i dont know if they will prescribe me to it.  Ive never abused benzos, NEED HELP PLEASE!!!

Five panic attacks a day in unacceptable and your doctor needs to know, immediately, that the current meds you're taking are NOT working for you. If the Klonopin worked well for you in the past, there is no reason not to go back on it. Most doctors will not put you on two benzos at the same time, so I will assume that the Xanax was used strictly as a "rescue" med? Meaning you took it ONLY when and if you had a breakthrough panic attack. I would definitely question any doctor who put you on both. If your current doctor will not consider switching you, find another doctor.
