I suffer from extreme Anxiety,I have for years. My doc prescribed me Xanax to be taken as NEEDED. I only want to use it when I really need it and so far that has been once, maybe twice weekly. The dose is between .15-50 mg per time I take it. I break the pills up and disolve them under my tongue. Sometimes I only need a very small amount, other times more is required. I am fearful of addiction. Is taking xanax like this once or twice per week going to lead to addiction? The drug works VERY well and stops my panic and anxiety in 15 minutes or less. I have also noticed I'm very relaxed the next day, even after it wears off, as if my anxiety is reset itself and then it starts to build over the next 4-5 days again. I know they say xanax only lasts about 4 hours, but for me, even after the heavy affect is gone, I'm left in a relaxed state. Very strange but i like it.
