What would you do if you suffer with anxiety attacks..?

and have been being treated for them for the past 6 years and out of the blue you get a really bad anxiety/panic attack? Let me add this info might help with answering my question. I have been taking xanax 1mg a day ( i split them in half and take one in the am other ..pm) Well I decided after getting all worked up to go to the nearest prima care type place, which is only about 5 minutes from where I live. I have just moved to Georgia about 1 month ago, and my new doctor cannot see me until the 26th. Didn't really feel like I could drive to the Hospital...he ended telling me he would and cannot give me xanax....took the 105.00 fee and handed me a referral. Is this normal??? What should I do...shouldI go to the ER? I thought you cannot stop taking this medication without consulating your doctor? I asked him before lewaving, what do I do if this happens again..he said you can deal with it. Advice needed please. There is more to the story, but running out of room.

You need a new doctor, that is for sure. Drs get all weird about Xanax because the think its addictive, but it isn't really in my opinion. I've been taking it off and on for about 20 years and it has helped me through some very hard times. next time you get a prescription, and you will by a nice doctor eventually, even if you have to go to the ER, then try to hoard a pill every now and then so you'll have back up.
