How Can Panic Attacks And Anxiety Be Treated?

I have a very high tolerance to psychiatric med due to Genny pigging everything as well as a savere case of bipolar disorder with panic disorder that is only becoming more frequent and more intense. I have recently became aware through my own research and readings that there are many more benzodiazapines than the common Klonopin,Xanax, adivan and vallium that are most prescribed. They help for mild anxiety attacks sometimes at the highest dose. But I can take panick attacks to a whole knew level where even the strongest -xanax and klonapin are no longer cutting it. What do I do I hate that I have such a high tolerance for pharmicutical meds that I honestly need only for emergency rescue doses.what can you tell me about the less commonly know benzoes be and would that be an option in hopes to trick my body/brain by taking something I ve never taken before and there for have know tolerance to? Thank you for your time and concern.

Benzodiazepines are not curative. What you need is an SSRI medication such as Lexapro or Zoloft. This will help much more and is much safer than benzos.
