You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The most common prescription medications to treat panic attacks are anti-anxiety prescription medications, which are also referred to as tranquilizers. Anti-anxiety medications help to relax and calm you. The most common class of anti-anxiety drugs are Benzodiazepines. These include Xanax (alprazolam), Valium (diazepam), Klonopin (clonazepam), Ativan (lorazepam). These anti-anxiety drugs work by reducing your brain activity. Because benzodiazepines reduce brain activity, they may produce side effects. These include sleepiness, fogginess, dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, blurred vision, confusion, impaired thinking, forgetfulness, and memory loss. People who have a risk of substance abuse, are over 65 years of age and are pregnant have a higher risk of these unpleasant side effects. Taking anti-anxiety medications with alcohol can be especially dangerous. Speak to your doctor before taking anti-anxiety medications.
