Many years ago, when I was working, I worked in what I would call a hostile work environment, and became so paranoid, could not concentrate to do my job, and felt that my co-workers were out to get me. I was prescribed xanax .25 mg generic, to help me control the anxiety. Please note, this was the only medication I was taking. Every morning when I got to work, I took the .25 mg of xanax... I got so calm, and I was totally focused on my jobs responsibilities. I never took more than .25 mg. once a day in the morning after getting to work. After a month, I started cutting back to 1/2 of .25 mg., then 1/4 (was a crumb) as the anxiety subsided, because I started to realized that in the office where I worked, the only thing that changed was me, and how I was reacting..., it was my attitude toward the things that were happening, After 4 months, I kept the xanax handy, with me, just for an emergency, but rarely took the xanax.
