anti anxiety meds

   Does anyone know if librium is as good as ativan for panic/anxiety disorder?

[JACEM5]

I have panic attacks every night at bedtime.I lay down close my eyes and bam it hits me,weird visions,feeling like I'm going to die,like if I allow myself to fall asleep I won't wake up.They only happen at night,I can nap during the day no problem.Anyway I have valium 10mg Ive taken up to 3 and they did not work,I also have ativan,which works,but after 3-4 hours or so,I'm up and can't go back to sleep.My shrink will give anything I ask for,he's very understanding and feels my frustration.
