short term memory loss from xanax

To whom it may concern     dear sir
howlong can someone take 2mg per day of xanax without side efffects such as memory loss. i have been taking 2 mg  daily for the last 6 months and it helps me relax in a hostile workplace . it helps me concentrate better and think better as i am more relaxed and dont get panic attacks when my boss becomes hostile and abusive , no other drug has helped me like xanax .

Yes...2mg a day seems a bit high.
"amnesia or forgetfulness, trouble concentrating" are side effects for xanax.

If you haven't had side effects after 6 months, then I wouldn't be overly concerned about it now!
