I was prescribed 1mg Xanax up to 2x daily as needed, but over time I've noticed that I rarely need it anymore because my anxiety has become more like GAD and I've had less panic attacks. I also noticed that after I'd take Xanax I would be depressed the day after.

So, I got switched to Klonopin .5mg 2x daily to manage general anxiety symptoms. I like it a lot! It doesn't make me feel like I'm on a medication, it's totally smooth. I simply go from anxious to not anxious, and that's it. Sometimes it will make me drowsy but it's not as bad as Xanax.

My question is, am I legally allowed to continue taking the Xanax that I have left over as needed for when I have panic attacks? Because I still do need it sometimes, just very rarely.

The reason I'm asking about the legality of it is because I'll have a pre-employment drug test soon, and if they see both medications in my system I want to know if it will be a problem.
