The problem is , when you stop taking drugs like xanax or valium that you have been taking for awhile, the withdrawl symptoms mimic the ACTUAL problems you were having, making you think you still need the drugs..
DIET - POSTURE - STRESS - change the levels of those three things and you wont need xanax or valium..

Yes they are short term in these cases above. That's why you take medications that act at long term like Paroxetine for 6 months to 1 year at least (or lots of others) to keep reducing your attacks and crisis. If you're trating panic syndrome with only the immediate-relief med (like Xanax) you're not being treated at all, just given a relief when you have a crisis, and your situation won't improve with time even if you don't get addicted to Xanax.
