I have been taking xanax (alprazolam) for several years because i have severe panic attacks. 1 mg 3x''s a day. i don't think it is working anymore. ?

Maybe not enough: Most likely the xanax (alprazolam) is still having some effect. Probably it is just not working well enough. Other treatments that are often helpful include serotonin antidepressants (sri's like prozac, zoloft, lexapro) and cognitive behavioral therapy. You should talk to your doctor. But don't abruptly stop the xanax (alprazolam).

This med. addictive : It is not intended to be taken on regular basis , but only on as needed basis and for short period of time . When u taje it daily u become used to it and will stop working . See u md, perhaps he can help u tapper down and switch u to something else and refer u for therapy. Good luck.
