On Adderall, Xanax. Am Overweight, Active & Healthy. Have Anxiety Why Am I Prescribed To .5 Xanax?
I recently just got re-prescribed to adderall and I am taking 15 mg twice a day. I am also prescribed 1mg xanax xr a day along with .5 ir as needed.
To give a background I am overweight (5'11) 300lbs but still somewhat active and healthy . No other issues concerning health have arisen except the anxiety which I had been on xanax 1mg 3 times a day and wanted to get off the daily dosage but I still have panic attacks (why I am prescribed to .5 as needed).
