Can Xanax Be Taken For Anxiety?
Question: I don't have any questions. I am doing okay. My psychiatrist told me to take one Xanax twice a day , if needed,for anxiety. So far, I have only had to do that once in the last two weeks.
Brief Answer:
Using it rarely is better for you
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
you've done well to avoid overusing it because frequent use will make it less effective for you and may make you physically and/or psychologically dependent on it. Benzodiazepines like Xanax are addictive, so you shouldn't use unless absolutely necessary.
Kind Regards!
