Well I went to the dr. and long story short I gave my true story about panic and axiety problems followed by insomia. Im going to be prescribed something thats meant for short term anxiety/panic attacks for whenever I need the pills. Im nto sure what ti is because first I havta goto medical health dep and speak with the therapist there before I actually get any medication. Any ideas on what i'll be getting?

Only use those pills short term, no matter which benzo you get. DO NOT take for more than a few weeks, especially if they are a daily thing. Because when you decide to come off them your body and mind will go through heavy withdraws, it's the worst feeling in the world. I've been hit by xanax withdraw twice in 2 weeks because I was on them for too long and did not tapper off them well enough. It is hell. They can be helpful, but only if your careful with them.

Sounds like Xanax (alprozalam) to me as well. It's a very quick acting benzodiazepine that can take effect in about 5-10 minutes. It also has a very short half life in the body, which unfortunately lends itself to more frequent redosing and a greater risk of addiction and dependency. It's used for anxiety attacks since it takes effect so quickly.
Another option is Klonopin (clonazepam), which is similar in effect, but a much slower half life and longer acting. It also takes a bit longer to take effect, so it's good for maintaning general anxiety relief for longer periods of time.
Be careful though. I'm willing to bet that if you do get prescribed a benzo, the doctor won't really go much into detail about how incredibly addictive these meds can be. With regular daily dosage they can lead to quick tolerance and eventually dependence.
And while I've never taken either long enough to suffer the withdrawl effects from them, I have had a few friends that had more of a problem withdrawling from their 4-6mg per day xanax habits than their 160mg per day oxycodone / heroin habits.
Just make sure you know the risks in taking these because it can be a long and windy road if you don't know what you are getting yourself into.
Or they can just put you on some shitty SSRI/SNRI like Effexor or Lexapro.

Yeah i've heard of 5-htp hmmm.
If an SSRI/SSNRi is presribed im going to tell them I had a bad experience with it and wont be taking any SS's. Had a friend commit suicide on an SSRI so it onyl brings more panic.
