Maybe: Xanax (alprazolam) is a short-term treatment for the symptoms of anxiety. Your best course would be to talk to your doctor or a psychiatrist for a thorough evaluation of your symptoms.

Avoid Xanax (alprazolam): Your interest in getting Xanax (alprazolam) is concerning. Alprazolam is one of the most addictive and abused psychotropic medications on the market. If you are having anxiety, there are many effective options other than xanax, which is never a good long-term solution to the problem of anxiety.
