It's best to take this only as needed, not regularly.

I have had good experience with xanax. It simply took away my anxious/on edge feeling, and left me feeling sleepy sometimes.

If you're concerned about side-effects, talk to your prescribing doctor. See what his/her thoughts are about taking 1/2.

Hang in there!
