A member asked:

There are times before and after stressful events when xanax (alprazolam) wont work to keep me calm. is there sth i could do, will i go crazy, have a heart attack?

Seek counseling: In addition to the medication you may need behavioral therapy. The sooner you start the sooner you can have better control over your response to stress.
