That was two years ago. I still have bad days and panic attacks but I'm learning to deal with them in other ways.
Just to clarify....Xanax is considered a Class IV controlled substance and is a benzo, which is important to know because it can be habit forming and is frequently abused. (thus why the pdoc wouldn't provide more).
Congratulations for starting to develop other coping skills in addition to (and hopefully replacing) the Xanax.
