hi.. melissa,, i have understood your problem and u are suffering from a anxiety disorder mostly it is a panic disorder with agoraphobia... u have been taking medication for long time but u are not improving completely.. u are taking xanax only which is a benzodiazepin medication which will help u for a short duration ,,it wont remove your anxiety from grass root level [ neurotransmitter level], so i ll suggest you to take antidepressant medication along with klonopin..stop xanax, it is a habit forming drug because of the short half life... medications: tab. paroxetine [25 mg paxil] once at night, can increase upto 50 mg gradually depending upon the response of the drug... tab.klonopin [0.25 mg, clonazepam a long acting benzodiazepine medication] twice a day.. take these drugs for at least 6 to 8 months...u ll be back to your routine life... u can also go for psychotherapy.. like systematic desensitization, flooding therapy, exposure and response prevention by visiting to a psychotherapist..it will help u to deal with your anxiety... i hope this advice will be helpful to you.. best luck..
