A member asked:
How long does it take to get addicted to xanax? been taking .25-.5mg daily for almost 2 weeks. anxiety has been crazy for me.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically 1 month: After a month of regular use of Xanax your body can become dependent on it physically. The psychological dependence can be very strong with Xanax as well. The goal with Xanax should be to use it as a band-aid rather than as a cure. It works well for anxiety but should only be used for really severe anxiety, short-term and not daily. Talk with a doctor about things to start long term.
