Answer 1

Only your doctor can diagnose panic disorder and best advise you about treatment.

Some people get relief right away, while others need to be put on a different medication.

Call your doctor, today!

Answer 2

Xanax helps mostly with the physical problems of anxiety and the anxiety attacks. However, there is still a mental/psychological element to the disorder. You still need to work with a therapist in conjunction with taking the Xanax. If you still feel you are having anxiety related symptoms you may need to try different meds, dosages etc. This drug works best in conjunction with other relaxation methods. So, don't just rely on the drug only.

I used to take Xanax and found that in the long term it helped more to use other non medical methods to manage my anxiety (ie exercise, healthy eating, meditation, writing in journal). I only take Xanax for anxiety attacks. If you are taking it regularly, better if it was prescribed by a psychiatrist not just a regular medical doctor. That way you can get better long term results.

Answer 3

Sometimes medications, such as Xanax, can take up to a month before they are effective. If you are feeling extremely anxious, contact your therapist or call a hotline to help you through.

Answer 4

Xanax may not blunt your fears if you don't find out what's causing them. Many times, anxiety/fear, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, etc are caused by physical problems.
