I'm going to agree with Elizabeth because I also suffer from panic attacks and found relief through benzos. SSRI's, despite the push that drs. and pharmaceutical cos do are not the proper med. I take 6mg klonopin/day and 1-2mg xanax sub-ling for breakthrough attacks. I have never raised my dose in 4 years. Benzos are not supposed to put you to sleep only stop panic attacks. If you are suffering from nocturnal attacks (the most common in true PAD), then your dose of xanax or klonopin is not high enough. You need to see a specialist in panic disorder and not a regular pdoc. I wish you the best, until mine were under control it was hell- judy
