Xanax is appropriate for some forms of anxiety usually the type triggered by sensory processing dysfunction or disorders. This can also produce myoclonic seizure activitiesdue to certain auditory and visual exposures. I'm one of those such patients.

I've taken a low dosage of Xanax .5mg 3-4 times per day for over 16 years now with no problems. I can not take antidepressants it makes it much worse. My wife has taken Xanax 25 years same dosage no problem. She has serious neurological damage {quadriplegia}. Xanax likely saved her life. A doctor also had her on antidepressants and she went into Serotonin Syndrome twice in a weeks time. Xanax is a counter acting drug for it. Had she not been on it at the time the reaction may have been fatal.

I do believe Xanax is safer than SSRI's and other type antidepressants when Xanax is prescribed properly in lower dosages.
