Other techniques: In my opinion xanax (alprazolam) is not for long term usage. Maybe your new doctor can discuss an ssri anti-depressant with you. There are also cognitive behavioral and relaxation/mediation techniques that can be very useful. You could see a psychologist for this type of treatment. Perhaps your new doctor can refer you to someone.
