If you use it daily you will become habituated to it in 2 to 3 weeks. It is very difficult to taper off of. Alcohol and Benzodiazepines are the only two drugs that you can die coming off of.
There are many other things you can use for anxiety from natural meds like gaba, magnesium ashwagandha Passion flower and drugs like anti, antihistamines anticonvulsants to name a few. Benzos are only recommended for a week. They now have black box warning from the FDA

I was on Xanax for many years, but it is short-term in your body, they had me get off
of it and the same day they had me start Klonopin, It is longer lasting in the body. I have been on it for about 15 years, it helps with my tremors, much better than Xanax. I could feel myself shake after about 4 hours with Xanax.

I haven’t had any since my mom passed 7 years ago. It’s just the drs. Said to avoid stress and looking up about my nmda (?) encephalitis which is auto immune has given me more anxiety than growing up in the household I did or my exhusband. I haven’t been able to avoid stress my whole life now my life almost depends on it.
