Answer 1

what your having is anxienty attacks ,I used to have them all the time until I started taking effexor which is an anti anxiety and anti depression med. but works well to control anxiety /panic attacks and I also take xanax when i fell an attack coming on .If you talk to your dr. he might start you off with a low dose .25mg yes point 25 mg a rather small dose but it will definiely help.I figured out it was sugar free product that would cause my attacks so it maybe something like that for you .But good luck and if your prescriped the meds  which you may be hesitate about it's better then living with this problem  Good Luck

Answer 2

I have chronic back pain and anxiety as well.  I am prescribed pain medication to help with this problem.  However I am also prescribed xanax for my anxiety by the same doctor so I know its safe to take with my other medication.  I have noticed that when a take a xanax with my pain medication it helps a little bit more...it helps calm me down and allows me to not concentrate on my pain. By just taking a xanax it may help calm you down and allow you to focus on other things besides you pain....hope this helps!

Yes. And although I think Xanex is the king of worse benzo's, yes it will. Also if you are intolerant to it, it will render you uselss the next day and you might wake up drooling on yourself.
