I would proceed with caution and only take it (Xanax) as a last resort. Once you get used to it, it will be very difficult to live life on life's terms. In short you become dependent on it like any drug. I don't think it will help your meditations any either. In fact IMHO spiritual progress is held in check until you lose your dependence on it and learn to deal with the underlying issues. This is just from my experience with a friend of mine who's been on a 'psycho-tropic' for probably 30-40 years. It's like you're not dealing with a real person as their reactions are altered by the drug.........just some comments from the peanut gallery. Good luck!
