HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are sites that can help you locate a psychiatrist in your area eg healthgrades.com , zocdoc.com, webmdphysician directory.

One of these would be able to find a psychiatrist in an area close to you.

Xanax is a benzodiazepine and has the potential for dependence, typically these medications are not used for a prolonged period of time because of this. The longer it is used and the higher the doses used, the greater the risk of dependence and withdrawal symptoms.

There are other drugs that are use for anxiety such as bupropion, celexa, paxil, zoloft,cymbalta, prozac, lexapro.

I hope this helps
