A member asked:
Is taking .25 mg of xanax twice a day a high dose that could lead to addiction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a high dose : Addiction is a disease by itself, while tolerance and dependence are expected effects with specific drugs. For benzos, such as Xanax their side effect profile is significant specifically in elderly and they should only be used for limited periods of time.
