Xanax is cool to use during severe bouts of anxiety but it should not be used long term..in fact it can increase your anxiety when you stop taking it not to mention the chance of developing a dependency on the drug.

I have suffered from anxiety disorder for years...I've been to the pits of hell and back and my suggestion is get a doctor who will not only prescribe something like xanax short term to get you through the acute phase, but a drug like buspar that is not addictive but treats the anxiety.
I rarely have attacks now...when I do I can recognize them for what they are and have methods to keep them from growing to full blown panic attacks.
It's been pretty successful I've only had like 2 full blown panic attacks in about 3 or 4 years
