Calm down. (Easy for me to say, right?) I found that it took a few months for my brain to rewire itself after many years of daily drinking. Zoloft and Xanax were part of the process of putting me back together again -- together with a good therapist and AA. Eleven years later, it still works for me.

While Xanax is not something you want to become dependent upon over a long period, it is still the drug of choice for panic to the best of my knowledge. I don't feel you should leave yourself defenseless right now. It only sets you up to fail and go back to alcohol because you "know" how that works. Besides, there is just no point in being distressed and dysfunctional for large parts of the day.

Good luck and keep in touch!

Ray
