Asking for opinion *people with anxiety*

Ok so my anxiety has gotten drastically worse this year to the point illhave these episodes where I can't breath and think I'm going to die sometimes it will get so bad that i can't even swallow... and my hands will get itchy. wicked bad episodes. I already have social anxiety where I go places and as soon as I'm around a bunch of people immediately anxiety strikes.

I really DONT want to go on meds.. my doctor prescribed me Zoloft but I don't wanna be on antidepressants at all.

I was thinking do you think they would maybe prescribe me xanax or somtbng like that instead for my really bad episodes?

I take something like that for whenever I have a dental appointment they prescribe me Ativan for my anxiety and nerves my dentist.

Any advice ? Thank you!
