Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help you with your panic attacks and formulate a treatment plan which may include medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist. Also, please have a complete physical exam to determine if some of your symptoms are due to a physical problem.

I have been on alprazolam for a year now, 1mg morning and 1mg at night for anxiety and panic attacks. Would it be better to take antidepressant and then start weaning off the benzodiazepine, rather than tapering off without using an antidepressant?
