... times per week, when I have a panic attack, so at the end of the month, I still have plenty left, how long can I continue to take them before I get in trouble or will I get in trouble?
Xanax - If my prescription says as needed and I only take them truly as needed, such as maybe 1 or 2

Hi, Chris!
You might be thinking of the addiction factor? It's not likely unless the medication is used daily on a regular basis.
Let your doctor know if you feel that your current dosage is no longer effective or if you experience cravings for the drug but I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Why would you get in trouble, your script says "as needed" and that is how you are using this benzo, you are using not abusing.
