There must be a good reason to take such medicine. Anti-anxiety medications usually causes addiction, I've seen people who tried and then had serious problems... (I think it was that Xanax one).

Usually, when you start such medication, you are forced to continue receiving the medicine your whole life (due to addiction) and if you stop, you will have worse anxiety problems than you had before.
Also, Xanax (and other similar medicines) is known for decreasing mental activity. And that side effect won't be completely removed after stopping medication.
I already knew about these side effects of Xanax, but I searched at the internet to confirm:

It's sad to say, but sometimes you can't even trust your doctor. Sometimes they gain profit from writing recipes to the patients...

Quite the contrary, my doctor would not prescribe it to me because what I described to him was apparently normal and doesn't require drugs.

Thanks for your input though.
