Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I would like to know a few more details to serve you in a better way.
1) How long have you been having these panic attacks?
2) Any other medications you are taking other than xanax?
3) Is there any current stressor?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks and regards,
Dr. Srikanth Reddy MD
