And Benzodiazepines are really your only choice there. Xanax (alprazolam), Ativan (lorazepam), or Valium (diazepam) are the best and fastest acting. Ativan is often the drug of choice in hospitals for anti-anxiety relief before procedures or to give to a claustrophobic person having an MRI. They are all good. And one dose certainly will not hurt. And anyone recommending breathing exercises and "getting to the centre of anxiety" is not very helpful, especially for a single need.<br><b>References : </b><br>I am a medical student with a specialist degree (Hons.

You need to use coping skills in a short term anxiety issue. Learn to make your mind not think of the past of the future and just stay in the present moment and do not circular think about things. That should help you get through that 20 minutes. Good Luck, Your Assistant<br><b>References : </b><br> xanax is not the answer. You need to use coping skills in a short term anxiety issue.

If you have, though I have to wonder why you aren't on long-term treatment. I have also found that this homeopathic remedy works in a pinch: http://www.rescueremedy.com/ It might seem shoddy but *believe me*, it works. It's like instant calm as soon as it touches your tongue.<br><b>References : </b><br> Agreed… xanax, IF you really have been diagnosed with this.
