I use this rx to treat anxiety while traveling long distances or going somewhere there are a lot of people. I just take one when I feel like I am going to feel anxiety and it works great! I only take when I need it so a 30 day supply can last quite a while. I dont feel like it is habit forming if you only take as you need it. It has helped me get my social life back!

Took Xanax for about 6 months and let me tell you in my experience absulutely do NOT drink alcohol while on this med. I was taking 3-.5mg day and I drank once while Xanax and it almost killed me.

Was just recently prescribed Alprazolam for stress related chest pains(tests ruled out heart issues), feelings of panic at times, and BP pushed higher by stress. I take .5 as needed and have not noticed any dependance effects or side effects. I am able to function well at work and notice that I don't feel drugged, just not as overly worried or stressed about things like usual. Some days I will need to take all 3 pills (while bp meds are being adjusted and i'm worried about high bp), others only 1 at night or not at all. I will be careful of dependancy now though, after reading the other posts. All in all, I would highly recommend based on my experience.
