What Causes Anxiety Despite Taking Xanax In A Cancer Patient?

Hi, I have recently moved back to Hawaii after 10 years of being back on the east coast and am glad to be here again. I will try to make it short. I have been treated for anxiety, panic disorders for the past 10 yrs on the east coast and the zanex that was subscribed helped me to get a good nights sleep and occasionally deal with day anxiety attacks. Doctors here are so reluctant to prescribe anythingthat I thought I would talk to you. I am in the midst of cancer, hip replacement , 2nd one and moving all in one . Much more but it s too much.... Let me know if yo can help... Thanks Mae plus I am 65 this year. Mahalo

Hi Good morning

Your anxiety symptoms may be part of your physical symptoms, may be due to thought about your physical illness.
It also be due to part of your panic disorder for which you have taken treatment. It may be due to limited social interaction, as a part of learned behavior in panic disorder or any anxiety disorder.


My opinion is better you consult any nearby psychiatrist and after detail history & mental status examination he will guide you medicine and psychotherapy or relaxation techniques which found useful for you.
