YAY! Success!!....Its a benzodiazapine. Fast acting, short half-life...great for panic attacks! You are moving forward now..It is also a strong sedative too, so you may get loopy, groggy, tired,...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...:)

You'll be fine son.

E-Man.

I did see that. That is another part of helping you to fix you. Helping others, provides you with more then you'll know as they all are looking for answers too. If you got an answer, advice, suggestion,...throw it out there! Its up to them as to whether they retain the info, or discard it...either way, you did your best! Thats when you'll begin to see the light at the end of this long tunnel son.. Great job!

E-man..:)
