"works excellent for anxiety. have horrible social anxiety which i also take zoloft for but xanax doesn&rsquo;t really help with it. not knowing cause my dr&rsquo;s didn&rsquo;t tell me but after being on this a while and at a high dose (for me up to 3mg/day) if you don&rsquo;t take it everyday you feel like rubbish. took me almost 2 years to figure this out so regardless if i need it or not i take maybe 1mg as a maintenance dose in the middle of the day. greatly helps to not feel sick. i also take 30mg of temazepam at night which i thought would cover me. but for the past 10 days my mood has been really bad, the worst in years and a couple mg&rsquo;s of xanax greatly improves it but wouldn&rsquo;t recommend it since it&rsquo;s not prescribed to take it that way"
