Yeah, I took Xanax PRN for years until it got to a point where I was waking up in panic. I switched to Klonopin. Long lasting, but it won't work immediately, so I take it on a schedule.
Meditation; a LOT of meditation, helps me a lot. I will get up in the morning, have my no-caf coffee, then do a guided meditation for 15 - 30 minutes. I have several CDs I vary in use. Then eat breakfast.
Just like taking supplements, I notice it when I *haven't* been doing it. Anxiety and panic levels just creep up. So I try to be vigilant. It helps a lot with remembering to breathe. And thinking of a safe place, if you are a visual person.

Aside from that, I try to avoid triggering situations.
