Answers:
Benzos are very effective in reducing anxiety and panic attacks when taken properly!. However, in moderate to high doses, they are likely to cause some physical dependence!. Your doctor would keep you a dose that would minimize this possibility!. Also, abusing benzos can cause liver damage, addiction, and sometimes death!. So don't take them recreationally!. However, when used properly, they are safe and very effective!. I took Xanax for 5 years (!.5mg 2 times a day) when I was in grad school for anxiety and panic attacks!. It was a life-saver! When it was time to come off it, I simply took !.25mg two times a day for a week, then !.25mg 1 time a day for a week, and I was done with absolutely no withdrawal symptoms!. I still have some Xanax on hand if needed (when I fly or give a conference talk, etc)!. You should not drink large amounts of alcohol when on Xanax, but you can certainly have a drink or two if you are taking the medication as prescribed (and not abusing it)!. In fact, 2 or 3 drinks was all I needed, so the Xanax made me a cheap date!. It's really all about responsibility!. People who abuse the medicine will run into problems!. Those who use it responsibly, and under a doctor's guidance, will feel great and immediate relief from their anxiety!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
