Q: what can I use in place of xanax for anxiety
Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
There are many different medications on the market today to help in decreasing the symptoms of anxiety. You can find out more about the different medications: Anxiety Medications
It would be impossible, however, for anyone to determine which medication would be best for you. Different people react differently to medications and often it is a matter of trial and error to determine which medication may work best for you. Working closely with a doctor, monitoring side effects and keeping track of how you are feeling on the medication can help you and your doctor decide which medication, and which dosage, would be best to help control your symptoms of anxiety.
I hope this helps. Please let me know how you are doing.

I use Lexapro and it seems to work for me.
