Specializes in Psychiatry

Panic attacks: I would encourage you to NOT become too dependent on taking Xanax to handle your anxiety. It does NOTHING to cure the underlying problem and you may develop tolerance. SSRI's are often used to treat the chemical imbalance. Some form of psychotherapy (such as cognitive behavioral therapy) should be paried with it.
