Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi dear

I understand your concern.

Only xanax can not help.

It is only control panic at a time but can not prevent as such.

SSRI like peroxetine/ escitalopram will help in this.

So consult psychiatrist and get help.

Exercise and meditation will help.

Relaxations method can help also.

Thank you.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Thank you.
