A member asked:
Will being on xanax long term cause brain issues like dementia or phychosis delirium just read on facebook ive been on 8 years small dose now panic ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xanax: I have never seen anyone on long term but small doses of xanax develop dementia or psychosis. However it still would be habit forming and could cause withdrawal symptoms if discontinued abruptly.l
