Suggest An Effective Alternative To Xanax

hi my name is lauren i used to go to nulton diagnostics and i was seeing dr.cassone since i was around 15 or 16 and he had me on xanax because i have severe panic attacks and also severe anxiety.. i unfourtunatly got kicked out of the clinic cause i was was late for 2 apointments by just a few minutes and then i havone of thme prepraid phones and missed a appointment because i have terrible memeory loss do to domestic violence... and they refuse to take me back... i tried to go to a doctor in indiana pa and was going for months never had a issue til i went in for my monthly appointment and he tried to say someone called and said i was abusing my medication and i have never done that nor had a problem with.and the part that upset me the most is he didnt even call me in for a pill count or any thing and i took drug test all the time for them so i honestly feel thats malpractice how can you have someone one something that works for them and just cause a stranger calls and says im abbusing them it isnt right. and im guessing it was probably someone who found out i was on them meds and since they couldnt get any from me they have it taken from me when i honestly truely need it i cant even go in public half the time and when i amaround people i start to hyperventalate.. my other doctor even thinking that and i was very upset because i needs my xanax i have been on so many different medications over the past 13 or 14 years that the Xanax was the only thing that worked for me they had me on 2 mg in morning 1 mg at noon and 2 mgs before bed. doctor im begging please help me cause the last doctor i had before all this he got sent to jail and now i suffer ever day and its the most depressing thing that when your child ask u to go to park or outside to play and your anxiety and panic attack takes over!!!!

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

First of all, I like to make it clear that there is no best or worst medication for anxiety. There are multiple options which can help one person but may not help other people with similar symptoms.

Secondly, Zanaprin is one alternative and can be used as an alternative to xanax as it is less habit forming in compare to xanax.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
