I have used Xanax for years. Have episodes here and there. When I was younger I used this all the time. Turns out its supper addictive. So I been prescribed hydroxyzine. At fist 50 mg was to much. I felt worse. So I tired 10mg-20mg. It helped me so much. I prefer this to Xanax bc it helps with cough, nausea, and gagging. I still use Xanax here for  severe distress. I never mix the two. Learned the hard way. Any way I am trying ashwagandha. Feel no different really but will give it ago. Another thing that seems to help is daily magnesium. I use Benadryl for tiny attacks.  Do you use any natural supplements? Do you find any other medications that help you more like Xanax? Your thoughts, recommendations and stories are greatly appreciated. I understand we are all different and react different to medications and the Dr. has the final say.
