Like most things in life, the issue is how and why one takes Xanax. If you are taking it to treat a condition, be healthier, and be more alive and able to participate in life, you and your doctor can make good choices about whether xanax is helping or not.

But, I have been on xanax for 15 years now - I want to get off - how or what do I do or take to go off. Have tried before, but can't manage. I take 1 mg AM and PM - I have tried the real slow method but get down to 1/2 mg at pm - and next day I have quills, racing heart, fear, etc. What can I do?

Anxiety is a daily thing for me and I can take a low dose and it helps within 20 minutes.
