Hi lybrate-user I can understand your condition and how distressed you could be secondary to the anxiety symptoms. Medicines like etizolam or clonazepam are only for short term relief and are the treatment of choice if your symptom frequency is like once or twice a month. If the frequency of episodes is more than that, you need to be on prophylactic/preventive treatment where you need to take one or two pills regularly which are safe even in long term and doesn't have any significant addiction potential. It's in your best interest if you consult a psychiatrist in-person who can guide you well regarding the nature and course of the illness and help you choose the right treatment. I wish you get better soon!
