Using xanax for about 20 years

Posted at 11:24 AM on Nov 17, 2007 by oceansandsunsets86, #3884
What are the effects of Xanax on the brain ( or other organs) after long term use. It was first prescribed for me for insomnia. I take 1and 1/2 0.5 mg at bedtime. I'm finding that after a stressful situation and the inability to get to sleep, I sometimes take two pills.
