I've been sober for 5.5 years, had a pretty serious problem with alcohol and also abused a variety of drugs. When I was in outpatient rehab, I once took a Xanax that had been prescribed to me, I took it for anxiety, and they made me change my sobriety date because of it (they found it in mandatory urine tests).
The Ritalin for the ADD was ok though. But my anxiety? That wasn't real!
Xanax doesn't make me high. It makes me feel somewhat normal.
IMO, if you really don't abuse it, and don't plan to abuse it because you actually really do need it and don't want to waste it, then **** 'em.
I take Xanax PRN now. I don't abuse it. Always have a bunch left over when it comes time to get a new script.

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.
MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .
Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
