Xanax, lorazepam, etc. are short
term band aid anxiety solutions, not
long term calming drugs like the prozacs, zoloft, etc. Make sure you take an antidepressant that helps with anxiety because not all do. Low doses are all you'll probably need, and your body will tolerate each antidepressant differently, so it may take several weeks to find one that works for you. Be patient. I tried Magnesium supplements for several months with mixed results.
