You have to look at it in a different light. Some people who quit smoking carry one cigarette with them just in case and they never touch it. Lets just imagine if you had a whole bottle of xanax. You would feel more comfortable right. Think about why that is because the bottle lasted you a year. Whats the worst thing that is going ot happen if you have a panic attack? Not much just some trembling, that out of control feeling, heart palpitations and whatever else might come along with it. The truth is you will survive that PA and anxiety.What you have to do is keep the anxiety under control. So how do we do this? Try this every time you start even slightly thinking anxious thoughts bring your mind back to the moment, by counting tiles on the floor, or your breath or whatever else you can come up with. Distract yourself every time you think anxiously and everytime you start thinking how you only have one pill left. Take the so what attitude. So what if....... Hope that helps.
