Don't take them all the time. If you feel a panic attack coming on then yes take it. I keep them as a safety net in the event I get bad. If you have bad anxiety you should also be on some sort of SSRI

3 a day

I wouldn't take them frequently, unless you have super crippling anxiety and panic problems that can't be solved by other ways. You'll no doubt get addicted if you take them daily for a long period. .25 is the smallest xanax, it takes 8 of them to equal one bar. 3 a day is bullshit, I would feel insulted by the doctor to give me such a tease dose . At least he's upping it next month.

That's a low dose but you should try taking them as infrequently as possible. Many people find just having them and knowing they can take them if needed helps a great deal.

As others here have said, only take it as needed. Do NOT take it on any sort of regular basis, it is very habit-forming. Also if you decide to take it on a regular basis and then you stop taking it... you'll have horrible rebound anxiety

never did xanax before but i just popped 200 mg of diphenhydramine, gonna see how this turns out

Tolerance builds fairly quick but that's the smallest dosage there is.
The alternatives to xans that the voodoo quacks have tried to put me on have been horrible and I'll def stick with the xans.
You're lucky to have a doctor that doesn't mind writing you xans. I can't find one for shit.
I've gone to several doctors requesting xans since they do wonders for me (even after several years usage) just to be labeled a "drug seeker", fuck yes I seek this drug in medicinal dosage. I'm def addicted but don't really give a fuck, they work for me.

I know someone who became addicted to xanax pills for sleeping, that was over 10 years ago and hes still fuckied up from withdrawl, apparantly compensating with other medications a xanax addiction is like impossible. Now he suffers from utterly ridiculous sleep disorders.
I too suffer from anxiety and insomnia, ever since i converted to bho i never feel anxious anymore and its rare the night that i dont catch 4 or 5 hours of sleep (which is a lot for me). Ive not had panick attackts in years since i started smoking weed everyday. Strain is a kush cross...

Tolerance breaks go a long way in the effectiveness of bud & extracts. 48 hours off the bud works wonders. Benzos can be useful for that break in my opinion. Herbal teas help me too, but I know everyone is different.

I've only been.taking one a day instead of the intended 3 but man that one I take definately helps...activities I used to.hate doin at work I've found myself enjoying..I also have a cousin whose been offering me 3 a piece for em but I won't get ridda them..but don't know what to do with em all that I.don't take haha

I really do not need another habit...although not terrible I have a tricky opiate habit I've been trying to shake

3 a piece for them? Bars go for 3-4 bucks, and if they're offering 3 for the ones you have, that's 24$ a bar. I couldn't rip someone off that bad though lol

And that's similar to how I got hooked on benzos for a couple years. They helped me get off opiates, but then they were hard to kick, and I kept taking more and more.

Yeah Benzo withdrawals are the worst you are on a marijuana forum if you have anxiety just smoke the right strains of weed and you shouldn't need the xanax. Maybe go see a different doctor .

I wouldn't use any prescription drug for anxiety. In my opinion, it's a trap. It will only help just long enough to get you dependent upon it and addiction is very hard to overcome. Use cannabis.
