IT IS ONE OF THE BEST MED'S YOU CAN TAKE FOR ANXIETY ATTACKS. I WAS ON IT FEW YEARS AGO! I COULD BE TOTALLY PISSED OFF , BUT BE LAUGHING WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE. I LOVED IT! | ||

xanax is a short acting benzo...pretty addictive for most people....i would try alternatives before heading for the goal line...can really kill your personality when used often... | ||

Special Bill is right. (Damn! I love it when the bros are keerect about medical/psychiatric things!). Xanax is effective, but it has a high addiction potential. Get some psychotherapy. Anxiety problems like yours (sounds like Panic Disorder without Agoraphobia) tend to be self limiting (that is, to go away after awhile) anyway. You can speed that process with some good counseling, but getting on meds should be reserved only for intractable cases. Try therapy first, then meds if you get no relief.

I've got some now, i was given because i had a problem sleeping and was to wigged out about a situation, which is over now, but i still have some of the script. I was prescribed Xanny for the day at 0.25 mg. to take as needed every four hours. I was given something else , stronger to help me sleep at night. The Xanny will mellow you out. My dosage was low though, and i think yours should be if you are using it throughout the day. | ||

Xanax is great for overcoming anxiety...although not good for long term use. After long term use, you just get panicky all the time, constantly(after discontinuing of course) which sucks! If you've never taken any benzos(Valium, Xanax etc.) 1/2 milligram will help you overcome anxiety and 1 milligram would make you REALLY COOL. | ||

Listen, gents (and ladies): Benzodiazepines are bad shit to mess with. Even "fast acting" ones like Xanax are very slow acting compared to lots of other meds, meaning that withdrawal is going to be complicated and EXTREMELY LONG. Believe me, I've treated guys and gals detoxing off benzos, and it's not a pretty picture. Seen strong men cry and all. For weeks. And weeks. And weeks. Avoid the use of sedative/hypnotics like benzos if at all possible. Try everything else, first. The cure is worse than the disease. Again, FishDis, go see a therapist before you start treating yourself with shit that's gonna dig you a deep hole. Word to the wise, my man. Word to the wise! Bjaarki | ||

Special Bill was right on. It is only a short term solution - like for a few hours. It can be addictive, and actually make your condition worse - like you will need a pill to take a fucking shower. Also, it does definitely erode your personality. As it calms your anxiety, it deadens all of the things that get you excited - good and bad. You will have fewer lows, but also fewer highs. xanax is not your answer bro. Matt | ||

I suggest you try amitriptyline at night 2hours before you go to bed,try 25mg first but you can go up as high 125mg,however when taking it you will put on weight,so careful with your diet, & don't take any protein when you want to sleep,it will only make you stay awake,I learned it the hard way. | ||
