The only cure for anxiety is, ultimately deconditioning.Meds definitely can help smoothen that process , but that needs to be addressed carefully, as PRN /SOS will reinforce the maladaptive conditioning. Ultimately the simplest analogy is to not respond to the false fire alarm - and the brain eventually stops treating it as emergency. Easier said than done , but that’s the hard facts. Most suffer from Somatic symptoms, but keep the noise peripheral, never central- by returning to whatever you are doing, however badly. As for anxiolytics- Fixed time dosing for a finite period prevents maladaptive conditioning and makes exposure therapeutic. Ultimately, for a panic attack emergency- creating a threshold rule is better, and even then hydroxyzine like antihistamines serve better than to messing with Benzos.

Claude offers money credits and double usages but take them out and Claude becomes almost unusable where it would take opus about two - three high effort conversations to exhaust my session quota in Pro. I once extended my claude code session beyond the session limit, and thought they are too generous in offering 100 dollars worth of usage. It was sonnet, for a somewhat mechanical task - and it spent 13 dollars worth of usage after exhausting my quota mid task. Only a few months back, I was awestruck by the quality of Opus 4.6 and jumped ship from chatgpt to claude. Even in technical tasks, Opus has to be told to limit token spend, it treats it as infinite budget - it will spawn a subagent to read every file just to get one line summary when I ask it to sort a messy folder of past ai chats. Thank heavens I was not doing it off machine, it would burned off my monthly usage and credits.
