"i&#039;ve been taking low dose .5mg xanax for a few years for social anxiety and occasional panic attacks. it&#039;s excellent. i take it as needed, which i like, it lets me feel more in control. i rarely take a full dose. it&#039;s very effective even in a lower dose. it just lets me keep anxiety under control so i can function well. i never notice any major fogginess or anything with it either unlike other benzos i&#039;ve taken like ativan. just in moderation. a little goes a long way. absolutely great medication for anxiety and occasional severe panic attacks. it has completely helped me build my confidence up and get my life back!"
