I m reading a lot about xanax being addictive. I ve been taking it for years: 1 mg at night (2- 0.5 mg tabs) and 0.25 mg in the morning ( one-half of a 0.5 tab). If I miss the night dose, I will have difficulty going to sleep and need to get up and get the dose. Am I becoming addicted, and what can I do about it? I m also being treated for major depression with desyrel, effexor, and lamictal. The lamictal was prescribed by a psychiatrist and the rest by my internist. Thank you for your answer.
