Hi, my therapist says I have a lot of anxiety (sure but I have other issues as well) I have found that Xanax seems to take the edge off life in general and allows me to utilize mindfulness to be more productive. 

I do have a tendency to abuse substances though so I’m hesitant about having a supply of such a potentially addictive drug. 

What does Xanax or other benzodiazepines do for you? How much do you take daily?
