I have been on xanax off and on since 1998 and had done pretty well. The last month I have been taking way more than I should.

Meds are dangerous. Sadly, I hid a bottle of flexeril and darvocet in my bathroom, before he flushed them all. If that's not addiction, I don't know what is!
I suffered through the withdrawls and anxiety because I knew if I took more I would not stop. I only took .5 3x a day which is a low dose.
Xanax is not a good choice for a preventative daily benzo it is great for as needed but it has to short of a half life to sustain the feeling you get from it. Xanax XR is supposed to be a 1 time daily pill for that or klonopin which has a long half life and is normally 12 hour doses.
