Last year I had a major breakdown with panic attacks and got diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. I was on sick leave for a couple of weeks and quit my job as I was very unhappy with my situation. I also got a lorazepam prescription from my Doctor but never took it because I know it is an addictive benzodiazepine and I'm afraid that I will quickly get addicted to it as I already am addicted to weed. 

After quitting my job I began feeling a lot better, seems like my anxiety is somehow tied to work. 

I work in my new job for about 4 months now and the panic attacks and anxiety are coming back since early January. 

I can't get my work done and I'm feeling this permanent feeling of fear all day which paralyzes me, I sit on my desk all day while browsing reddit (I'm also at work right now -.-) and in the evening i feel exhausted, tired and hate myself that i again didn't get anything done. 

I still have the lorazepam package unopened and I don't know if i should take it now. Has anyone here experience with the medication? How long does it take to get addicted and does it even help with this kind of symptoms? 

I'm not in therapy yet but want to do this soon. For now I just need some quick cure so I can at least do my work again. 

Throwaway account because I'm not yet comfortable to talk open/public about my depression.
