Alcoholism, Anxiety: I commend you for your honesty about excessive use of Alcohol I understand your need for relief of Anxiety for which you have taken Xanax (alprazolam) before. It is ok to take Xanax (alprazolam) at this time, See a Psychiatrist to understand reasons for use of Alcohol, poor impulse control , poor judgement and craving. Xanax (alprazolam) can be habit forming. For stressors in your life have Therapy, Yoga, and Meditation.
