I had been prescribed that med as well and it's suppose to be effective for anxiety and for getting rid of alcohol cravings, but didn't really work for me. It is one that needs to be taken in fairly high doses, usually 3 times a day to work. I would not try to limit yourself or hide from taking then when they are working, and your doc prescribed them for you. They are non-addictive so I would not worry about that if that was one of the reasons you were concerned about.
