Xanax has been shown to be slightly more effective than other benzo's in treating panic, and there is some evidence that it does not contribute as much to depression. The only drawback has been that it is very short-acting and consequently more addictive in some ways.
I'll bet you are right though - I could think of no other reason why it would not be available here.
