Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Xanax alone would not control anxiety. You should take antidepressant like paroxetine or sertraline to control underline anxiety disorder. Xanax can help to give the immediate relief from the symptoms, but it would not prevent further attacks. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and management. You can also do relaxation exercise, that would keep you calm.
