Pill not enough: The problem is not finding a doctor who is willing to write a script. The pill must be part of a treatment plan - not the only treatment. Xanax (alprazolam) is habit-forming and loses effectiveness after taking it for a long time. You need an overall plan, including developing your own coping skills.

Reason for it: Xanax (alprazolam) or Alprazolam id a great drug for anxiety , panic attacks , depression etc , it is equally misused , can develop drug dependence ( addition ) , misused as a recreational drug , has to be under professional supervision, can cause complications , md s has responsibility to protect public that is the reason drug is not given . You have to talk to your doctor, will explain if it is indicated
