Can Xanax Be Taken For Anxiety Attack?

I recently went to the ER for anxiety related tachycardia and a severe headache. The Dr in the ER gave me Reglan and Benadryl for the headache, when I got home I smoked some pot to calm down and had a very bad reaction. It s been 22hrs since I took the reglan and I m currently very anxious, am I safe to take Xanax?

Yes you can take xanax now. Its safe. But donot make it a habit as it can cause dependence.

Hope this helps.
