Should Xanan Be Taken During The Panic Attack Or Every 8 Hours?

My BP is 117/60, pulse 68. I go to Duke for ALL my medical problems. I am on multiple meds - isoorbide, metoprolol, tikosyn, lasix, janumet, magnesium oxide, tetracycline, warfarin, simvastatin, klor-con, aspirin!! I know you are most likely saying WOW but I had a cardiac ablation on 12/01/10 and a cardiac cath in January which showed 100% blockage in one artery that wasn't a concern and 80% in another that they did not want to put a stent in because of the "Y" location. I am also very hard of hearing. Now my most recent problem is PANIC ATTACKS! At this time I am so very depressed over all these problems and now the attacks are almost too much. They put me on xanan 0.25 mg. Do you think I should wait for an attack or take it every 8 hours to ward off one? I am 61 and weight 270 down from 320.

Hi

i understand your concern.

It is occur most of the patient after cardiac procedure.

Usually xanax is beneficial and you can take it every 8 hourly,but it would better if you tale ETIZOlAM instead of xanax.

Xanax has addictive potential.

This condition can be treated with sertraline 50 mg in morning with etizolam 0.5 mg twice in a day.

Do exercise and meditations.

Relaxation and deep breathing can help.

Proper sleep and healthy diet can helpful.

Thank you.
