I think my friend is addicted to Xanax but she swears she is not because she isn't even taking her doc's recommended dosage, which is 3x per day. But sometimes she gets way stressed over her boyfriend and just takes a few. When I've had bad days, she has even suggested I try it, it but there is no way I will take prescribed meds like that. Does anyhow here know anyone addicted to this type of med (anti anxiety) and if so, how can I tell if she is addicted? We live across the US from each other.

Answer :

Xanax is like that if she is taking it with another prscribed drug like zoloft then she may not need the Xanax until she’s stressed. My husband takes both he doesn’t need the Xanax until something triggers his anxiety. I can’t understand but I don’t have those problems. I don’t think she’s addicted. Some dr. Say to only take it when it is extreamly needed. Hope that helps.
