Suggest treatment for severe anxiety disorder

Hi how are you? My anxiety is pretty bad right now, as I start a new job (one that I've wanted for a while now) tomorrow at 11AM (EST), and I am prescribed .25 mg Xanax I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to take one now, at exactly 12 AM. Would I feel very groggy in the morning?

DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. You already know that Xanax is an anti- anxiety drug and is prescribed to manage anxiety attacks. Drugs helps you to manage the anxiety. But the basic remains. You should still address the reason for anxiety. You said, tomorrow you age going to take up a new job which you yearned for. Tell me, how come you are sure that you will have anxiety attack? That simply means you are being apprehensive. that also means you did not learned anything about anxiety and its consequences. Anxiety is body's defense mechanism and is due to fear creating stimulant. Anxiety is normal, but attack is proportionate to your worry about the symptoms. Learning more about anxiety will help. Psychotherapy, mindfulness meditation etc helps. Consult a psychologist.If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL.  Make sure that you include every minute details possible.
