I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder years ago that's managed well daily with Zoloft.

I only really get panic or anxiety attacks in certain situations, mostly airplane travel. I don't like feeling "trapped" like in an elevator. Manifests physically in many ways.

I was prescribed Xanax as needed. .25 dose twice a day. I've never taken it before this week but I noticed it really does almost nothing even if I take two .25 pills. It maybe helps a tiny bit but I still feel the panic sensation creep.

Is it possible to have a higher tolerance even if I never took a benzo before?

There's a decent chance my mother abused them when pregnant with me. Who knows what that means .
