I have taken Xanax for 6 years. While on it, I would care less how I was perceived but I don't think it made me appear less anxious.
I have not taken it for over a month and my anxiety level has not changed significantly. There have been no withdrawal symptoms, no rebound anxiety. In fact, my thinking has improved, I sleep less and I feel more alert.
Overall, Xanax was more harmful than helpful for me. I am sure I have certain cognitive deficits from taking it for so long.
