I’ve just recently had extreme anxiety come upon me the past couple of weeks. (Mostly due to my job). I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Paxil 10mg and Xanax .25mg. I’ve been taking the Paxil for the past 4 days but my Dr said it could take 2-3 weeks to notice a difference. So he prescribed the Xanax as needed until it kicks in. I have 60 pills of Xanax, I’ve taken 3 so far over the course of a week. I am deathly scared of becoming addicted to these. Addiction doesn’t really run in my family, but I don’t want it to start with me. I second guess myself before taking them even though I feel like I truly need it. I try not to take one more than every other day, since I want it to be fully out of my body before I take another one. But I still feel like 3 in a week is a lot. But I truly feel like I needed it. Ugh any advice or tips for not abusing benzos?
