Is It Possible To Get Addicted To Xanax?
I take 0.25 mg Xanax a few times a week. I am 55.i only started taking it on medical advice after a family tragedy. I have never taken any drugs before. I never drank alcohol smoked or taken any drugs (legal, recreational or anything). Can I get addicted to this? That is my only concern, please advise
