I Have Major And Frequent Panic Attacks. How To Overcome This?

Hi there. I have major and frequent panic attacks. I have been on Xanax for the past 10 years now but the new Section 8 law means I have to come off Xanax. I have never had a panic attack whilst on Xanax. I m so scared as my life before Xanax was unbearable. I have Multiple Sclerosis and the neurologist thinks the 2 are linked. Before I was diagnosed with ms in 1990 I had never suffered with anxiety or panic attacks. I have trialled valium but it does not stop the panic attacks. Can you help. Deb

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Panic attacks are directly related to stress and anxiety.
Best treatment is stress management.
And for this this better to psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Xanax is anti anxiety drug. Along with drugs, counselling plays very important role in management of anxiety and panic attacks.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Consult psychiatrist and discuss all these.
