Hello, this is my first post here because I need some answers I couldn't find.

I've been suffering from an anxiety disorder for 3 years, without diagnosis (now I'm 18 and I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow for that because it has just become so unbearable).
Two days ago at night I had a big crisis of heart palpitations, and I went to the emergencies because it was so bad that I could barely move or think, and I wouldn't be able to sleep.

They gave me a medication to calm me, a one that I could melt under my tongue. But then when I had to go back home they told me they couldn't give me more of that one, and instead they prescribed me Alprazolam which they said I had to swallow it.

I already have a lot of trouble swallowing medication, but on top of that one of my biggest issues with anxiety these past months is having trouble to swallow in general. So my question is, can I melt it under my tongue? Is anyone doing this with Alprazolam or Xanax and does it work the same?

Also, I guess it's because it was not my real doctor and they didn't not evaluate my anxiety but they told me to take only 0,25 mg a day. 1/2 on the morning and 1/2 on the evening, could it be enough for severe anxiety ? When I manage to swallow it (after multiple tries which causes it to be melted and since it's already an half of one portion it's ridiculously small...) it does seem to calm my head but only for the following 10 minutes :/.

I hope I will get some answers, thank you for your attention and sorry if I'm making some english mistakes 😅.
