Hello, long time xanax user here. I have panic disorder and depression. So i use xanax in conjunction with prozac. But i get a prescription for 2mg xanax daily. (the blue ones). I take a half in the morning and half in the afternoon and a full one at bedtime. I try not to take them on weekends or when my stress level is low. But I do think I am dependent on them for sleep. If you dont need them everyday, i wouldnt use them like that. Take as needed. Only if your anxiety gets to a level where you need them everyday, i wouldnt risk the addiction. I have taken them for 2+ yrs now and am scared to stop now...
good luck and do what u think is best. xanax is not a drug that has to be in your system at all times like ssri's etc...
