Greetings !

Well yes you may ask your doctor for prescription of xanax at dose of 1 mg to be used as a PRN that is for as and when required basis at the time of a panic attack.

Although 2 mg dose is stronger than 1 mg dose but in combination with amitriptyline 1 mg dose PRN shall make for a more plausible solution for your panic attacks.

I hope this helps.
