Hello
Welcome to HCM
You have PTSD after rape trauma and multiple abuse episodes. You are taking xanex or alprazolam for that. You have multiple panic episodes and they got really worse after you were beaten by your boyfriend. Xanex failed to provide relief. You are continuously experiencing panic symptoms. See although xanex provide good control of symptoms of panic still it is not a drug for definitive treatment. Various other medicines like SSRIs especially sertaline, fluoxetine etc are mainly used in panic and PTSD. Apart from medicines non-medicinal treatment in form of Psychotherapy is used in PTSD. Consult a Psychiatrist for expert management of these symptoms. You have stopped adderal several months ago so there is no risk of withdrawal symptoms.
Thanks
