Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Xanax helps relieve panic attacks, but it is used for acute control and long term remission done by SSRI's. As you said long term Xanax is not good. Consult nearest psychiatrist for the same. Some people have panic attacks for longtime and need maintenance with SSRi group of medication which are relatively safe. All the best
