Brief Answer:
Yes it's ok to take Xanax

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Yes it's ok to take 0.25 mg Xanax and this will help to calm down the symptoms.

Zoloft or Sertraline takes time to show it's effects. During first few days of starting the therapy even worsening of anxiety is seen, but after 7-10 days symptoms start improving.

Thanks and Take care.
