Is Xanax The Right Medicine For Anxiety Disorder?
Hi I am a female, age 23. I weight 110 lbs and am 5 7 , my doctor has prescribed me xanax (.25mg) for anxiety and they seem to have zero affect. I have tried upping the dose to .5 and even 1mg and nothing seems to happen. I have a good friend who is 6ft almost 200lbs male and .5 knocks him out. Am i immune to the drug? Is that possible?

Benzodiazepines' tolerance is a well known fact as the myriad other side effects including rebound anxiety on withdrawal.You better avoid them for one reason or any other.
You can try Citalopram 10 mg or even better is Escitalopram 10 mg. It will work well for your age .
Hope it helped.
