I used Xanax and found it to be very helpful with withdrawal anxiety (the sweats, the shakes, the rapid heartbeat). The only thing you need to worry about is keeping your dosage to whatever the doctor prescribed and only take it if you're having an episode. If you take it all day every day you will build up a tolerance and will have to take more in order to make the withdrawal symptoms go away. Next thing you know your body will be hooked on the medication.
