I have no advice on the xanax, but I do want to say for you, or anyone else, that is experiencing anxiety over leaving the house that I strongly recommend the hypno tapes. I am using them now, and will be finished my 100 days next month. I can not believe the tremendous difference they have made to my life. I am not exaggerating or kidding here. I am dead serious.
Yes I did suffer, and still do to some degree, anxiety for leaving home. There was no way I wanted any parts of anything to do with leaving my house--my sanctuary--to experience "life". I mean, how can it be "life", if you don't feel like you really have one, so terrified of what may happen that you don't even enjoy it. Just the thought of leaving brought on an attack. Sometimes I got the sweaty palms, racing heart, hyperventilating, tight chest, feeling like I was just going to die, literally, right then and there. Plus, I was always afraid if I did have to go, I wouldn't make it to the bathroom in time. Oh, and yes, I did experience my worst nightmare before--I didn't make it!
As awful as that all was, these tapes have changed my life, and they are still doing so. Them along with the Eating for IBS diet. For example, right now I'm on antibiotics, which really stirs my tummy up, and yesterday morning although I felt not quite stable, I went out anyway...to a flea market. Do you know what it's like trying to find a restroom there (if they even had one  ?). And you know what, I did it and I survived, both panic & IBS attack free, and I have Mike Mahoney and Heather to thank for that. There have been many other incidents like this in the past 1-2 months or so. I'm even thinking about traveling, although I haven't quite got that far--YET!! 
I admit, I was skeptical of them at first, if that's what you're thinking. I didn't want to spend that much money for something that may not work. But you know what--they are working!
Honestly, you've got nothing to lose but about $100, and if you think about it, it's only about $1 a day. The worst you can get is disappointment if they don't work, and don't you really already pretty much have that with IBS anyway?
PS: I swear I don't work for Mike Mahoney!
