Xanax is great for when you feel something coming on and deep breathing has not helped or when you are already in the middle of an attack. I remember one experience when I was crying from panic, took a xanax and about 20 minutes later, I instantly stopped crying and fell asleep. I try to take Xanax as little as possible though because benzodiazepines are a high risk drug for dependency.

it does work but the risk is not worth the reward on this one
works well for the anxiety that goes along with my bipolar dx

I dont sleep despite having tried every sleeping med plus I have a lot of family problems so this really helps me. It embarrasses me to take it because some family members have severely criticized me for taking it.
