panic disorde
"Agoraphobia for almost 40 years, couldn't go on freeways or travel- never took meds, as I feared addiction. Eventually had to do something because I moved out of state, Dr. in ER gave me 0.5mg xanax for the travel trip. It was a godsend- I made the trip, actually enjoyed it, then never took another one until we moved out of state again. This is a miracle when used in this way- daily, no way would I ever do that- again, fear of addiction. I find other ways to deal with anxiety that happens on a daily basis, but for travel, this was amazingly helpful."
