You should be careful about taking 2mg of Xanax everyday; it's usually prescribed as PRN. People who need to take benzos everyday seem to use clonapine at a low dose instead.

I take it every day for generalized anxiety. It's the only medication I've ever taken that's ever helped with anxiety, and lower doses were not effective. (I also have 1mg Xanax prescribed as PRN for when I have panic attacks.) I have tried many other anxiety medications that did not work, including klonopin, which I got badly addicted to and will never touch again. (Klonopin was ineffective for my anxiety... extremely effective for getting stoned.)
