Temmie,
I get 1 mg Xanax per day for 3 months at a time from my Psychiatrist. I generally take .5 a day [mostly at night for insomnia]. I don't get the panic/anxiety attacks like I used to. My Psychiatrist is understanding and I've been getting Xanax [actually generic Alazopram]as needed for a couple of years. I have a supply here at home, just knowing I have it gives me great contentment, though I usually don't need the 1 mg a day at all. I split the pills in half. If a person has mild anxiety, visualization, etc. if fine. If you have real anxiety and/or panic, I believe the benzos are the best meds out there [and inexpensive too]. There are days I don't take the Xanax at all, but take it mostly for my insomnia [post menopause, yuk]!
