Give the med a try. It can't hurt to try it. Let us know if it does or doesn't work for you.
P.S. I was talking to a friend last night. She stated her dentist gave it to her, because she literally panics when going to the dentist. I never heard of that, but I am not surprised. She said it helps her relax. She couldn't go to the dentist without it. I sure wouldn't throw the med away even if it didn't work as you would like it to. You may be able to use it for other reasons, because it other benefits you can find online. It can be used in addition to other medications to help make them work better (i.e., pain meds). I used it to help with the nausea in starting the Lexapro. It helped me deal with that awful feeling of feeling like I was going to violently throw up for several weeks when I started Lexapro and helped with anxiety. Boy, I am glad I am not experiencing that now. I have taken it before taking tests too to help with test anxiety. It has helped me at higher doses to fall asleep as well. I think it is a great drug that is under utilized. But, that's my opinion. Caring thoughts sent your way :)
