How Should Xanax Be Taken For Anxiety Disorder?

I have anxiety and started self treating myself with generic xanax .5mg 4-5 times daily 3 weeks ago because that helped tremendously and the phycologist just wasn't enough. I now have my own presciption of them from my obgyn but they just aren't working like they did when i first started taking them and I don't know why. I'm getting in with a phyciatrist very soon (already refered) but i need help until then. Can you tell me how i should take them to get the same results i was getting, since my obgyn knows nothing about anxiety disorder? :(

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I sincerely suggest you to wait till the psychiatrist appointment. If you feel that the Xanax is not working for you as it worked, I think, there is some more complications in your mental health. I think you are not only dealing with anxiety. Let your psychiatrist decide it. Please do not venture for self treatment.

Good luck.
