Hello I too have Anxiety and Panic Attacks.  

I'm glad to hear the medications have are helping you.  Here are a couple of options on how your medications can be taken.  As far as the medications go your doctor if he will can order you something like the Xanax that you only take as needed, and do away with the cipralex.   I will let you know though that the cipralex is a wonderful medication in treating anxiety and depression but it must be taken daily. The choice of how your medications are taken and what is best for you will depend on your degree of anxiety, and be entirely up to you and your doctor.

As Viper said there are some herbal remedies available if you prefer but check with your doctor before stopping your medications.  If you decide to try this you will need to be slowly removed off the medications you are now taking or your initial symptoms can rebound or even come back worse.

Unfortunately, you will most likely experience this the rest of your life unless you are somehow able to remove the stress/worry in your life that is causing the symptoms.
I Hope This Helps and Good Luck Brenda

I started having anxiety almost 2 years ago out of the blue. For awhile I was taking xanax or ativan, but I hate prescriptions so I looked for other ways. If you are interested in herbal remedies, passion flower and valerian root are very good to take. I found that when I work out and get exercise I am less likely to have anxiety as well.
