Brief Answer:
xanax dependency

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking in HCM.
I can understand your problem.

you are taking alprazolam for a month. it is right that drug can cause dependency and having side effects.
In my opinion it is better to take zolipdem for getting good sleep.
it is having less side effects and will not cause dependency.
for anxiety and panic attacks take tab clonazepam mouth dissolving.
It is very short acting and will relieve your anxiety in a minute and will not cause dependency and side effects.
visit your doctor, tell about these drugs. He will prescribe them. without prescription you will not get these drugs.
go for counselling sessions too. It will help you to overcome anxiety without drugS.

Hope my answer helped you and cleared tour doubt.
i wish you good health and healthy life.
