Is Xanax 0.25 Mg The Right Medication For Anxiety Disorder?

I started xanax of .25mg to help my sleep due to anxiety. Then I was using .5 mg for sleep and .25mg one in the morning and one in the afternoon to relief my anxiety and paic. Now I try to use .5mg for sleep and .25mg around noon to help the panic attack. I feel hopeless and whole life been ruined. I am tired always. Any suggestion to treat this anxiety? Xanax just made me to use more in a short of two months period.

Hello,

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr Aimen Nasir. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

Its good to take xanax or any benzodiazepenes in moderation. If your sleep is alright with this amount of dose its good. but for your anxiety and depression i would recommend that you should join such group programs or group sessions to treat depression and anxiety. Try to look upon things in a postive manner. Think positive. Go out with people who love you. Try to relax. Hangout with your friends. You can also consult a psychiatrist and counselling sessions.

I hope this answered your question, and
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regards.
