Good advice, UT. I was having panic attacks a couple years ago due mostly to stress at my old job. My doc prescribed a low dose of Xanax, which helped immensely. Like UT said some people can get addicted to it. I'm not sure why, because for me it didn't produce any sort of "high"--it just made the panic attacks go away. But I guess everyone's different. Once my life calmed down I tapered off the stuff and haven't had a problem since. It's not a good solution for everyone, but you might ask your doc about it if things don't improve for you.

Other than that, I'd just stay away from the weed and try to live as healthy a life as possible (boring, I know). Exercise has always been a great stress reliever for me, so I'd definitely continue with that. Good luck!
