i took xanax "as needed" for several years. i found that it was easier to take it before i got REALLY anxious. as long as i took it when i was feeling just a little bit anxious i never really got bad. however, if yours is getting worse, try to see a pdoc asap. the sooner they catch problems like this the easier they are to treat. i kept pushing till i had a breakdown, and i am now agoraphobic.
