Xanax will be used to treat my anxiety. It's as needed, up to 3 times a day. He reinforced, that so long as it's not a daily need, it won't build up in my system, and become an addictive med.
Addressed my dizzy spells, as to try and monitor what is going on around me, a bit more, to get a better understanding about how they come on, as they aren't daily.

The thing about this med, is that it's meant to pass through our bodies, at a faster rate than some of the other meds out there. And that is where the withdrawal issues stem from. I read that, much, on this med.

Does your doctor advise you to perhaps, take it at the dosage on the weekends, or when you expect you may go through a spell of it? Then slow back the dosage?

Anxiety meds, help my anxiety.
Thanks for this!
