Worried and tense

So I started having anxiety which I have no clue I had till I went to the doctor and described my symptoms. Well they tried to put me on celepx and it was once awful night for me could t sleep and the side effects were awful. My doctor then put me on Xanax as needed .25mg I have taken it for the last 3 weeks once to twice a day I just hate how foggy it makes me feel. So I stopped taking it about 48 hrs ago. I feel some anxitey but I'm dealing with it as my therapist has suggested with breathing it's hard. I'm a little worried about all these side effects people keep talking about?

.25 Xanax has been my standby for years to stop the anxiety malaise gripping my abdomen moving from upper to mid- to gut. Yes, it makes me drowsy.   I take it under the tongue for quick action. But watch it, it's addictive. Some sources say you escape this if you take it as needed and not regulalry three times a day or whatever. You should research this so you are aware of it.
