Occasional use only: Anxiety is best controlled by non-addicting medication, and ,more importantly, adequate training by a therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist in coping better, along with regular exercise, proper diet & adequate sleep. If needed, occasional use of alprazolam is okay, but only after all the self-help tools you have been taught aren't working but not more than a couple of times in a month or more..
