Thank you! So, is it best to take the Xanax at regular intervals throughout the day, rather than just "as needed" (when the anxiety hits hard?) If so, how often should I take it? (I will run this all by my pdoc, but for now I really appreciate everyone's advice!)

Thanks again,
cindy

> Xanax ( Alprazolem)is "quick acting" and is probabley the best quick relief for anxiety. It is also true that regular use by keeping a steadier amount in your bloodstream ( same dose at regular intervals) usually leads to the calming effect we seek...without the initial side effect of the fatigue you mention. In any case....
> I would recommend almost ANYTHING other than alcohol...even in moderation. I know many will disagree with this, but the potential dangers, health complications, dependency, and long-term damage to our bodies....make alcohol an "empty way" as the late Mickey Mantle confessed toward the end of his life.
