Psychiatrist,  's  Response
hello Monica thanks for using healthcaremagic.
I can understand after 9 surgeries how much stress under you are.
Xanax(alprazolam) is anti anxiety benzodizepiens drug. However it is potent and cause dependence so gradually it is less effective and you need to increase the dose.
Better to shift to clonazepam or etizoalm with help of your doctor.
i suggest that any drug from SSRI group like paroxetine will be quite helpful. Just consult a psychiatrist with your all reports and current medicines. you can be helped for sure.

I hope I have answered your query.if anything else , late me know.
Thanks & Regards.
