Can Xanax Be Taken For Anxiety And Tachycardia?
My friend regularly uses meth and takes 1 mg of Xanax to calm the anxiety and reduce her heart rate when it beats uncomfortably fast. Everyone knows that meth shouldn t be used, but if she s going to use it against everyone else s advice, is the Xanax okay for the anxiety and tachycardia?

Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns for your friend.
Yes xanax is okay for anxiety and tachycardia. but i must tell you that regular use of xanax for more than 4 weeks can cause dependence. I am afraid that your friend might become dependent on xanax alongwith meth.
So its better to consult a psychiatrist for drug deaddiction.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks
