"i was 19 years old when my family doctor prescribed me xanax 0.25mg. for my stress and anxiety from work and life at the time. i&#039;m 43 now i only take it when i&#039;m under a lot of stress or when my anxiety level goes up in any situation in my life. at the same time when i&#039;m stressed out i go walking and running because it helps too. i wouldn&#039;t know what i would do if i didn&#039;t have xanax to help me."
