Hope: I have been taking Klonopin for a while for restless leg syndrome. I only take 0.25 mg at bedtime but it is enough to help me relax and get to sleep without my legs moving around all night. It also helps with the fear of recurrance that was keeping me awake at night. From what I know about Klonipin (32 years working in the mental health field but not an expert on meds) I doubt that the Klonipin will PREVENT a panic attack. It may help you come out of one but I have always known patients who had panic disorder to be helped more by anti-depressants, whether they had depressive symptoms or not, the anti-depressants helped reduce the frequency of panic attacks. I have to agree that Effexor or Paxil would be a good choice. Good Luck, BERTA
