I have made it through the day with not taking any more. I have fought of the anxiety and that was at the pool. Thanks again! Tim

Hi Tim,
You're probably going to want to take a Xanax shortly before bedtime, or you might have difficulty sleeping. Since you normally take it 4x a day, your body is used to having more of it in your system.
It's really good that you were able to be at the pool (I'm assuming public?) and be able to deal with your anxiety at the same time. I used to have problems just going to the grocery store.
The nice thing with Xanax is that it is scored so you can adjust your dosage - sometimes I just need 1/2 to keep me going on an even keel, and I can take the other half later if I need to.
Just take each day as it's own - don't worry if you have a bad day (it just builds up more anxiety). It may be cliche, but it's the best way to deal with it all.
