Going through a rough patch, got prescribed .5 xanax (alprazolam) , 5 weeks now, not improving , what can i do?

Diagnosis?: If you haven't seen a mental health professional, it would be good to get a consultation. If you are under the care of a mental health professional, it would be important to directly share your experience that the treatment hasn't helped you sufficiently. You haven't mentioned counseling - this can be a great help when life is challenging. Hope this helps.
