Xanax is used only for short term control of anxiety symptoms. In long term patient develops tolerance and dependence on it with exacerbation of anxiety. In long term and better control of anxiety and depression SSRIs medicines (Like sertraline, fluoxetine, paroxetine, Escitalopram and fluoxetine) are better. For which you can request your psychiatrist to start. For short term you can request other psychiatrist for Xanax prescription to avoid with Chat Doctor.   </s>
