Benzodiazepines like lorazepam work quickly but are for short-term use. For more information, please contact your mental health provider or, if you are in Texas, schedule an appointment with Mid Cities Psychiatry.
Most of the anti anxiety meds take almost 45 minutes to an hour.Medication Klonopin comes as a wafer that you take sublingual and that gets absorbed to your blood stream faster and so lesser time for that.

Faster acting medications such as benzodiazepines work well in the short term, but for long-term treatment of anxiety and/or panic, SSRIs/SNRI medications and psychotherapy are more effective.
