Hello,

In such a condition, Xanax 0.5 orally once before sleeping can be added in the current treatment. However, you should discuss it with your treating doctor because he or she knows better your actual clinical picture.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
