Psychiatrist 's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Better to avoid marijuana. It could effect on the drug metabolism. If you want to replace xanas, then try antidepressant after psychiatrist consultation. That would help you to control the dose of xanas and you would able to decrease the dose of xanas. Marijuana could increase the anxiety symptoms.

Thanks
