I was recently seen at the hospital for a panic attack. I was injected with Alprazolam and it helped significantly. I was prescribed some Xanax and told to see a doctor.

I saw the family doctor and he prescribed me another refill of Xanax (0.25mg Alprazolam), and 6 refills of generic Zoloft (50mg Sertraline), with plans on me seeing a psychiatrist in the coming months (because appointments are that difficult to set).

I like the Alprazolam. I like that it can be taken 'as needed', but the prescription count comes in so low (@25-30 capsules). I am assuming the Sertraline doesn't have addictive qualities like the Alprazolam does?

I haven't tried the Sertraline yet because I fear the warnings, and a lot of the posts here at PC mention some frightening things about it; i.e. growing immunity to it, vivid dreams, sideeffects with & without, etc. I've never been on maintenance drugs before, but this drug just sounds crazy. Are people blowing this drug out of proportion?
