Panic attacks and alcohol

[Batgirl]

I tried Buspar for anxiety and hated it: it made me dizzy and disoriented, so I stopped. But, everybody is different. My father is an alcoholic and has been to rehab more times than I can count. They gave him ativan and anti-seizure medication one time, and more recently they used Baclofen which, to my knowledge, is not addictive, or at least, not as addictive as a benzo. Good luck to you! You are absolutely right that drinking to relieve anxiety is a vicious circle. You are in my thoughts.
