Well it sounds like worry and anxiety are your main problem!. So I say, relax and breathe slowly and deeply!. You're going to be just fine!. If you are benefitting from !.25 mg of Xanasx/day then I say take it and don't worry about taking it!. If you end up taking it every day or every other day for weeks, you may want to wean yourself off it some if you find you suddenly don't need it!. Not because you'll experience seizures- that's pretty rare!. But the brain is strongly affected by this class of drugs and you may feel some slight discomfort if you were to come off it too quickly!. I believe this is a very small dose you are taking, even daily, and don't think stopping suddenly would cause any problems for most people, unless you have an incredibly sensitive nervous system!. Good luck with it and be good to yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I've never heard that about xanax and I take xanax almost every day as well!. I will look it up for you!. This is what I found and I will give you my source:
Some side effects can be serious!. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately:
seizures
seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist (hallucinating)
severe skin rash
yellowing of the skin or eyes
memory problems
confusion
problems with coordination
This info was from the National Library of Medicine in connection with the National Institutes of Health!. Personally, I would not worry unless you start to have some of these rare side effects!. Then I would contact your doctor!. Or, if you are that concerned, ask your dr!. to be switched to another medication!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is not likely that you will have a seizure after one week of use!. Talk to your doctor if you are still having problems with anxiety; you may need an adjustment in your medication!. Also you might want to consult a therapist to help you find the cause of your anxiety and ways to help you alleviate it!. There is no reason to be a "mess" everyday of your life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
have your Dr!. take you Off of Xanax, if you have an anxiety disorder, try different relaxation methods and apply it, if it's a panic disorder I would apply this also, if that doesn't work then have your Dr!. slowly take you off of Xanax and prescribe clonazepam, which is what I take now (0!.5 mg) after being weaned off of Xanax!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You might try some herbal teas like Chamomile!. It calms you down!. Or try Kava Kava!. But only take these at night!. And, ASK your doctor first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
