"for several years i have been prescribed 1mg to take up to 3 times per day - sometimes i take less, some days even none! but i find that xanax does for me what adderall does for children suffering add. for some reason the drug helps me have precision focus, a clear mind, better communication, rapid fire thought processing, and motivation - just for starters. i don&#039;t expect to take it for the rest of my life, but i go thro prolonged periods of anxiety and antisocial behavior (will urinate in bottles in my room when at my worst). glad  to know there are a few people who experience the same effects  using xanax as maintenance.  it&#039;s been a life saver for me! curious to understand why it has this off label effect on us select few."
