question: I have stage 4 endometriosis, and a lot in my bowels and bladder. had surgery and it did not help. I also suffer from severe panic attacks and have been on diazepam 10mg 3 times a day for 5 years and have become tolerant of the medicine. My panic attacks last over 3 hours and it is torture on me mentally and physically. What would be the next step up from the diazepam 10mg ,3 times a day. I also have irritable bowel syndrome which has gotten worse.. I am a prisoner in my own body. I would like to be put on Xanax, since it is a muscle relaxer also. Since the mg of diazepam does not work anymore , what mg and dosage of Xanax would you suggest?
