Hi,
6 weeks ago, you had heart attack, after treatment now your heart functioning improved to 55%.. Yes Xanax is safe . Yes You can take it. But in what dosages you will take it?? Please take only 0.5 mg at night..If needed then dose can be increased till 1.0 to 1.5 mg. And one more caution.. Xanax can be a habit forming medicine (for sleep).So, it needs to taper off as early as possible. So, take it whenever needed only..
