Niravam (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I have a disorder called RSD/CRPS one of the things this has affected is my hearing and sensitivity to movement so when I have to get in a large crowd or noisy environment like an airport I can take one of these and it dramatically helps since I never know when I will be in a situation like that. It is nice to be able to take a quick acting medicine to help. It does a great job

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: Started having panic attacks on a regular basis soon after bypass surgery at 58 yrs. I thought the antidepressant I had been taking for some 30 yrs. wasn't working anymore. After suffering with this for several years, I had a real good one, which sent me to the ER. They gave me a Xanax. Unbelievable, it was like a wave of calm went through me. Haven't been without the drug since. I take it when I feel an attack coming on, and it just dosen't happen. It helps you live a normal life.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Xanax was a God send when I was in a terrible car accident and lost my best friend. I knew that it was a controlled substance, so that made me wearly. I recently got into a relationship, and my boyfriends whole family is highly addicted to Xanax. They are prescribed them, buy them off the street, and so on. They fight each other for "bars" and pay a fortune for them. The family is a complete wreck. family members had forgotten important things, like family matters, misplacing wallets, purses etc... even getting into car accidents while they're on them. They helped me when I took them as prescribed, but seeing how my boyfriends family act while on the drug, I would be careful.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I had been getting panic attacks for so long they were so scary I had already been to the ER like 4 times and the only thing that did was get me a huge bill that I don't have money to pay. Xanax was like a miracle pill for me. I got some felt so relieved, a little dizzy at first but relieved that I wasn't so panicky any more I'm guessing you should only take it when you start feeling like your going to get a panic attack again or as told by your doctor. Just don't drink any alcohol while you're on Xanax. It does make me feel sleepy but sometimes when I feel like going out I fight it and I don't sleep and I'm still able to go out and enjoy myself.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: Xanax got me through a year or so of acute anxiety and debilitating panic attacks. I got rather attached to those pretty lavender pills. I called them "my darling little Easter eggs," they were so precious in relieving the terror that developed into agoraphobia. At max dose I was so sedated I started calling it "Zombinal." It had stopped working its magic, and under the care of a naturopath I simply stopped taking it. Amazingly, after a couple of shaky days, my anxiety diminished and panic attacks were history. I later learned that between depleted receptors and mini-withdrawls, Xanax was actually causing my symptoms. No more Xanax, no more panic, not even the slightest anxiety. I guess I got cured.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Found the brand name was by far more effective than generic alprazolam. I find typically I do much better with brand names than generics, depending on your co pays I'd go for the brand names, the difference in my insurance is generics are 3 and brand is 6 so it's a world of a difference to me. I felt or 'thought' the Xanax wasn't working, but realized I was on generic alprazolam and switched it, it was like night and day.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I have been on Alprazolam for 10 years for panic disorder and anxiety. I am still on the same dosage that I was ten years ago and I am definitely sure that drug companies differ in their drug production. Whenever I pick up a prescription and the pharmacy tells me it's "just a different company", the red flag goes up. The oval shaped 1 mg. tablet just does not work as well at the round 1 mg. tablet.

alprazolam for Panic Disorder: Have recently been suffering from panic attacks due to financial worries, and a couple of days ago had one that gave me the serious shakes and made it impossible to function (just getting letters from the tax office can cause a panic attack at the moment). I went to a doctor, who gave me a choice of medication , full course of SSRI's (but they can take up to 6 weeks to kick in completely), daily tranquilizers, these on minimum dose as required combined with SSRI's, or just minimum dose as required (with possible review to adding SSRI's later). As someone who doesn't like to be dependent on any drug I've chosen the latter, and it seems to help significantly.

Alprazolam settles my fears of people and my anxiety keeps my heart from beating real fast during an attack [panic]. Anxiety is a horrible disease. It affects my life every day and night. Alprolazam helps me with my everyday life.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I have been on Xanax (Alprazolam) for over 10 years for severe panic attacks and perpetual anxiety from PTSD and horrible things going on in my life. I've found this to be very effective to rapidly nip this in the bud, for a short period of time. I do not abuse this and am a non drinker. Life is so out of control for me that this is the only thing that works to any degree.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: They are a huge help, I have post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and agoraphobia and if I didn't have Xanax don't think I could go out of the house. I also have seizures and take Topamax. Everything got worse when my libido passed! Now I can do the things I used to do!

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I had anxiety so bad from work I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. I didn't take it until I got home from work because it made me sleep. I was on it for 6 weeks and I noticed I had an addiction to it. I was hurrying home after work to take it (no, really doctor, I can stop it any time I want to). My doctor said to stop taking it. I was awake for 3 days but I did it. I know now that I needed to reduce it a little at a time because I had been taking a high dose for a while. It's a life saver for bad anxiety, just watch the dosage and be careful about how long you are taking it. If you keep those 2 things in mind it's the best anti-anxiety medicine.

Xanax (alprazolam) : I'm a 64 yr old female and have been on 0.05 mgs of Xanax four times daily as needed. I don't always use four but have found that it has helped me a lot. I sometimes wonder if I'll be on it for the rest of my life because I realize the older I become it may or may not affect me differently. I know it's addictive but since most of my anxiety is genetic related I feel I must stay on it.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I always suffered from MAJOR test anxiety during high school and college. When I returned to school to get my Masters, I knew that the level of anxiety I would get before an exam couldn't be healthly. I was getting panic attacks. Finally I felt comfortable enough to ask the doctor for help. I only have major anxiety before an exam and this medication really helps me. I do not use it every day, only when my anxiety is peaking. Great for moderate use.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Xanax works well for me with my fear of flying. I have to take it on an empty stomach otherwise it does not work. It makes me sleep on the flight to get to where I need to go. The one problem that I am having is memory loss. I cannot remember the events that happened the day that I take it. It makes me very passive.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I just started using alprazolam for 3 weeks. From my mid teens years I have had nervous stomach symptoms which lead to multiple bowel movements a day, including sweating and numbing hands. Uncontrolled shaking of my feet or tapping on surfaces with hands. Because very little was know; my teachers would make me sit on my hands to control my twitches. I%u2019m now 50 years old, married for 25 years and still having panic disorders till this medication was started. Flying, small confided areas, in tight areas with many people, lack of bathrooms and just not being in control of my environment, would trigger an attack. I was embarrassed and covered my symptoms. 0.25mg of Alprazolam has helped me concentrate and control my racing thoughts. I feel in control and at peace in the most stressful situations. I thought not using it on the weekends would be okay, NOT SO, heart rate, numbing hands, trembling muscles and waking up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts were the outcome. You%u2019re never too old to start this medication given your doctors approval.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: The fastest acting anti anxiety medication I've ever been prescribed, and by far the most effective. The anxiety I experienced prior to medication was crippling, I would stay in bed all day and not want to leave my house to go to school, or anything that involved other social interaction. This medicine got me up, happy, and willing/wanting to do the things I could not do before. However, through prolonged use of this medication I have as a result become addicted, as when I do not receive my scheduled dose I feel withdrawals. Overall - this medication has done so many good things for me I would be content taking this until the end of time, for the pros outweigh the cons, tenfold.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I have taken Xanax now for six months and it has been the best six months in a long time. I have finally been able to go out in places where before I absolutely would not go for fear of panic attacks. I was on 8mg Ativan and 60mg Tranxene before and all I did was stay in my house and sleep. Thank goodness my doctor prescribed Xanax.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I suffer from anxiety to the point where I am scared of things. It was so bad I wanted to pull my hair out. I was adopted when I was just a few days old, My mother ( who adopted me) died when I was 16. Life just seemed so hard for me. I was prescribed Klonopin and Ativan before Xanax, now I take Xanax and Concerta together and it really has changed my life. I work two jobs and go to college. I have become a superstar at work, winning contests and getting along with everyone, I rate this drug a 10 it is incredible!

alprazolam for Panic Disorder: I use this as needed for limited symptom panic attacks. I take 0.5 mg and every so often I take an extra half two, three, four times a week.
It's a wonder drug - although I'm sure you could get dependent if you took them every day.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I really can't say enough about how good this medicine is for my condition. I have tried many other types of medicines out there for anxiety and panic disorder: such as Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor and Buspar. None of them came close to helping me. Xanax does the trick for me and even though I am prescribed the 1mg pills it only takes a half of one to make me feel "normal" again. A

Xanax (alprazolam) for Depression: When nervous or uncomfortable just pop a Xanax and I become as cool as a cucumber. I have a friend who can't even go more then 5 miles from her house without getting a panic attack. She takes a Xanax and she is willing to hop on flights to Las Vegas.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I have had severe panic attacks all my life. I don't even know how to explain what this makes you fell like, it's like you can't catch your breath, your hands start to go numb. My head goes numb. Then I felt like I am going to pass out or am having a stroke. I have nothing but a positive experience with this medicine and I have tried other's. They didn't work. I have never had any side effects with Xanax. So 1-10 its a 10, but take only as prescibed.

Xanax XR (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Love this medicine. It relaxes you so you can not possibly feel anxiety. The first time I took a whole one I thought I was going to pass out and could hardly walk - so be careful. It will make you sleepy so use caution when taking during the day. It can also help you sleep when you can't stop thinking. I highly recommend it for occasional use but not for every day.

Xanax XR (alprazolam) for Anxiety: This medicine has helped me with my social anxiety tremendously. Before, I would sit at home on the computer all the time, too afraid to really do anything. I skipped school all the time because I was too nervous. Now I'm going to college, making friends, etc. I still get nervous, but not nearly as bad as it once was. This medicine helps me live.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Xanax worked wonders for my anxiety. Next thing I know, I only ate one meal every four days and lost 15 pounds in two weeks. Withdrawal is the worst. I vomited for seven weeks straight and at least twice a day. I've been clean for two months I still don't sleep until five/six in the morning. I have slight muscle tremors. Prescriptions must be monitored extremely carefully.

Niravam (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I suffer from Combat related PTSD, Depression and Panic Attacks. Have been taking Ativan for several years with Wellbutrin SR. I still take the Ativan to control the anxiety, but since my doctor added Niravam, it seems as soon as it dissolves on my tongue, I can feel almost immediate relief, and it stops the panic attack in no time at all. It's truly a miracle medication.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: Works great for me when I use it on a "per attack" basis. My Doctor put me on it 3 times a day and that will make it ineffective. I only take it when I feel my heart starting to race and within 5 to 10 minutes I am back to normal.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Depression: I have suffered severe depression for years and was finally coming out of it with a cocktail of Lithium, Luvox and Epilim.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: This is the best thing for panic attacks ever! When I feel one coming on I can take 0.50-0.75mg and let it melt under my tongue and it works very fast. It has saved me from going to the ER so many times. My hat goes off to Xanax!

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: This drug is currently working for my anxiety that is blood pressure related. I was on Clonazepam and that made me high and groggy but did not help anxiety. Xanax has worked perfectly, reduces my symptoms and no high feeling. The minute I get freaked and have racy thoughts (panic) it curbs it, then I can get on with my day. I have not noticed any side effects and my friends and family have seen improvement.

alprazolam for Anxiety: Alprazolam has allowed me to regain my social life. I was imprisoned in my own home by anxiety attacks, not able to spontaneously go out for a meal, a movie, etc. Now I can go out and not worry about having an anxiety attack. It has literally changed my life, and I am very thankful for it.

alprazolam for Panic Disorder: I suffered all my life from severe anxiety. Finally at 40 I found a Doctor who gave me alprazolam. I could not leave the house without it and I did go on for 40 years suffering. I have been taking it daily for 10 years now and I often wonder if I could stop but I also know my quality of life and my heart (according to my Doctor) would be a problem.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: It is a miracle. I was always against medicines, and thought that panic disorders were people who just worry and cry all the time until it happened to me- completely out of the blue in April after my dad had been diagnosed with cancer. The day after Easter I came home from work and just felt something coming over me. Light-headedness followed by tingling in my arms, legs, and hands. A few minutes later I was completely paralyzed, crippled and numb. I had my boyfriend call 911 and they took me to the ER. It took me 4 hours to try to relax and calm down, and then the Xanax came to me. A few minutes later everything started to calm down. I had 3 more attacks that week. Now I am on 0.5mg, which I take when needed. Very effective.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I've been taking various doses of Xanax for about 24 years, more "on" than "off" but it has been a God send. I developed severe PTSD during military service which was exacerbated by multiple sexual assaults in civilian life, and later military duty. Without this medication I don't know how I would have been able to function all these years. If you take Xanax, DO NOT attempt to combine it with Prozac. I took it and ended up in ER having a status panic episode ("adrenaline storm") which I wouldn't wish on anybody. The Prozac was decreased and the Xanax increased. I haven't been able to successfully go back down to the previous low level dosage yet but we're hopeful. I got my life back the first day I took Xanax and have been doing well with it since.

Xanax XR (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Have been taking for a few months now with great results. Little dosage changing. I tried SSRI's and other medications without much luck other than feeling down or drained. Used Trazadone for sleep, I was living like a zombie. With Xanax the sedation wore off after roughly 5-10 days which was the only thing I can complain off. I have been doing better at school, less worrisome tics, better sleep instead of waking up screaming. Longer acting was better for me than a rollercoaster ride of taking a lorazapam or xanax (same dose worked wonderfully for 6 years) and now I just found that this time of my life, I needed something long-acting that I wouldn't have to think about my anxiety or worry about it anymore.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: Since Xanax is so short-acting, it should be a well thought decision to use for panic disorder. However, all people are different, and metabolize the medication differently. So, for some, like me, Xanax worked better than other medicines. For 15 years, I am so thankful that any benzodiazepine is available, as my panic disorder is moderately severe.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I have used Xanax for the past 15 years for moderate to severe panic and or anxiety attacks. Were it not for this drug, I am not sure what I would have done. It was and still is a God send. I only use it as needed as opposed to daily use. Two downsides are that it makes me drowsy and if I drink alcohol when I have taken it, I get very testy. Don't drink and drive and don't drive while on Xanax.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Xanax is the best medicine. I was dizzy for two months straight. I felt like I was on a boat and couldn't get off. My whole life was just a mess between working full time, school, personal life until I found Xanax. I am on 0.5mg twice a day and I have my life back. I can tolerate people again. This is the wonder drug. Other than being a little more tired than normal, which I will suffer through because it is better than biting people's heads off every chance I got.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I mostly used Xanax when I had an altercation (verbal) with my girlfriend. She would over-react, and as a result I would get so charged up that I couldn't switch back to normal. Taking Xanax eased my nerves so that I could "start new" with the conversation. Very powerful though and lasts a long time. I took doses of 0.25mg (I'm 115 lbs). If semi-anxious, doses made me very tired. I blacked-out for parts of a night when taking 1mg. Memories of stuff that happened, felt like memories of dreams. Also cancels out ADHD stimulant medications.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I've been on Xanax for over half a year now and it has really been a life saver on a lot of occasions. If it wasn't for these Xanax's I think I wouldn't have made it through because it's like they save me from having a heart attack or stroke and dying or at least that's what it feels like to me.

alprazolam for Panic Disorder: Xanax has seriously saved my life. I was having very bad anxiety that was affecting my digestive system. My stomach hurt everyday all day long for about a year along with diarrhea. I went to the doctor and they ran a bunch of tests but nothing was wrong. These stomach problems affected my daily life. I couldn't go anywhere or do anything which was causing me to be depressed. My doctor then prescribed me Xanax every time I start feeling anxious. I take one and now have no stomach problems.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Xanax has probably helped keep me alive and breathing over the last two years. The toll of being a military wife, mom, full-time worker, etc. had me so stressed out that I began to procrastinate on EVERYTHING because I couldn't emotionally handle things like paying bills, running errands, etc. I only take 0.5mg of Xanax as needed, but just knowing it's in my purse helps me keep my busy life moving ahead. Combined with Zoloft for depression and Ambien for insomnia, I finally feel like a normal person. I feel sorry for the woman I used to be, but I'm so happy to be myself now.

Xanax (alprazolam) : Xanax is the most effective non-habit forming medication ever. I don't have an addictive personality and I have never smoked nor do I drink alcohol and have never taken any illegal drugs. I was a gymnast for 12 years and was dedicated to the sport. I always felt nervous when I was younger but didn't know what it was. As an adult I was diagnosed with depression and prescribed so many SSRI's, none of which helped but made me worse. I finally found an amazing doctor who recognized my symptoms as generalized anxiety disorder. She explained that depression and anxiety often go hand-in-hand and for years I had been mis-diagnosed. I take no other medicines, only Xanax when I need it. It has improved my life so much.

This drug is awesome. I have been suffering from anxiety attacks for about 2 years now. They come out of no-where, even when I'm calm. I take the lowest dose of Xanax which is 0.25mg and I am normal again in 15 minutes and most of the time I usually don't have to take another one for the rest of the day. All of the rest of the drugs out there have horrific side effects and make you feel awful, but not this one I only take it when I need it.

alprazolam for Panic Disorder: I thought the anxiety and panic I felt was normal. I did not know any different. With some reluctance I approached my doctor and was shocked to find out I experienced 9 out of 10 symptoms of Panic Attack / Anxiety on a semi-regular basis. Once again, I have had this feeling for so long I just did not know any different. My life has changed, I can go to work, shop, go to church and family functions without feeling the terrible anxiety that I had before. I take 1-5mg per day depending on the days activities. I have no idea why my brain would throw me into a panic over the smallest of things but it did and alprazolam worked. I would give it much more then a 10 if possible. I now only fear being without it. It is truly life changing.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I was 61 before experiencing anxiety. It happened when I quit smoking (2 packs a day). If I smoked, the anxiety stopped. I wanted to quit smoking very badly. I quit 5 months ago. I take 1/2 dose of Alprazolam as needed, usually twice a day. No side effects. I could not have quit smoking without it. Hopefully, I can wean off the alprazolam gradually over time.

Niravam (alprazolam) for Depression: I have taken this for a chronic stuttering problem. It has lessened my anxiety, anxiousness and depressive moods in speech situatuions as well as daily stress. Due to being fast acting, it has been my experience this is the better of the many antidepressants, and anti-anxiety drugs. I have not found it addictive, and have had no side effects.

alprazolam for Anxiety: This drug is just about the best thing that ever happened to me. Without it my panic attacks would have crippled me totally by now. I feel panic coming on, take a pill, and I am so very calm within minutes. No side effects and the best part is you don't have to take it regularly. Taken like an aspirin for a headache and works great.

I had what I though was a heart attack only to find out it was an anxiety attack. My doctor prescribed Xanax as a "when needed" drug and Zoloft as a maintenance drug. Xanax has by far been the therapeutic one that I use. It takes effect in about 10 minutes and I can feel my body take a deep breath and relax. It never makes me sleepy or exhibits any other side effects. As others have written, if taken moderately and used correctly, it is a God send to us who have this affliction.

alprazolam for Anxiety: You need to find the right dose - too much can definitely make you sleepy, but the correct amount will increase your productivity (if you suffer from anxiety).

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I recently had an attack while on a commerical airplane. I always loved to fly and travel, this scared the wits out of me. I felt like I was going out of my mind. I needed to be off that plane and there was no place to go. I talked to my doctor and they prescribed Lexapro and Xanax. Xanax helps in social situations, I always feel like I am being judged or watched, which is very uncomfortable. I am still scared to fly.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Depression: I love Xanax. I wish I could take it daily but my doctor won't prescribe it to me for daily use, because she doesn't want me to get addicted to it. I only take Xanax on rare occasions, when I was extremely distraught. It made me feel better instantly. I've only taken 25 mg, but that was more than enough to make everything seem great. I was aware that my problems still existed, but I wasn't overwhelmed by them. It made me feel warm and happy. I've taken other drugs before and Xanax is by far, the best choice.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: During the recession of the early 90's I took this drug for a period of about 2 months to combat anxiety. The doctor first tried prozac but that didn't work for me at all. As soon as I started taking Xanax I began to feel better. I was able to put worrying thoughts into perspective. I highly recommend it.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Depression: I am being treated for severe depression. I take 150mg of Zoloft once a day and 1mg of Xanax a day. It has taken me a long time to get on medication for my condition but I am glad I decided to now. I feel completely calm and haven't felt depressed since I started taking both of these. It's been 4 months now.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: XANAX IS A MIRACLE FOR ME. I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT. IT IS NOT ADDICTING. I NEVER EXPERIENCED WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS EITHER. I AM USUALLY TENSE, HIGH STRUNG AND ANXIOUS. XANAX MAKES ME HAPPY, EASY GOING, TALKATIVE, CALM. IT HELPS ME SLEEP, I CAN'T SLEEP WITHOUT IT. I TAKE ZOLOFT AND SEROQUEL BUT WITHOUT XANAX NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK OR HELP ME. I LOVE XANAX AND I TAKE IT DAILY OR ELSE I REALLY JUST CAN'T GET THROUGH THE DAY. I HAVE ANGER AND A SHORT FUSE AND BAD TEMPER AND XANAX CALMS MY STORMS. XANAX IS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS FOR ME AND MAKES ME SANE AND ABLE TO FACE LIFE HEAD ON.

alprazolam for Panic Disorder: I have had panic attacks for the last five years or so and they terrify me. Xanax seems to be the only drug that seems to control them at all. I've been prescibed antidepressants that seem to help somewhat but not completely. Thanks for Xanax.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I don't have panic or depression problems. I have sleeping problems. I fall asleep fine, but wake up around 2 AM and cannot go back to sleep because my mind is too active thinking about stupid stuff like movies, lawn mowers, hunting, visiting my grandkids, working on my car, music, planned projects, football, YOU NAME IT. I take Xanax when I wake up earky and can't sleep. Xanax makes me go back to sleep almost immediately and I wake up around 6 AM feeling great. I have not noted any side effects, but I take it only when needed.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: My anxiety gave me depersonalization. Whenever I take xanax it clears right up for me, especially if I run out of Klonopin. It's a great back up that helps me when that sudden feeling of panic creeps up on me.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I was suffering from panic attacks for over a decade. I am now 39 and towards that time of the month it becomes worse.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: After taking this medication I feel very tranquil. I am an easy going person when I take it. I am calm and I don't have that high feeling I hate. I am coherent but calm. No one really bothers me. It's a miracle because before I used it my husband used to get on my nerves, my kids would get under my skin at the grocery market. I wanted to knock out someone but now I am a nice calm person that can be approached and even has fun.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I didn't realize all the stress that I had been under. I'd actually experienced a panic attack for the first time at 23 while I was driving home from college. I thought that I was going to die. I was frightened by the entire experience. I went to my doctor who prescribed me with the lowest dose of Xanax in addition to 20mg Prozac. About three months later my doctor decided to increase my Prozac to 30mg. I haven't needed Xanax for months, but I keep it on me where ever I go. Xanax is so fast acting. It calms my nerves instantly.

I have been on Xanax for almost 6 years when I first began experiencing panic attacks. It has been a wonder drug for helping me cope with my panic issues. It has also helped lessen my anxiety in social situations. You can only be prescribed so much of this controlled substance and you need to take it correctly. Now if I take one extra a day and run out early I experience worse anxiety than I did before I even began the medication. It's great for anxiety, but be careful how you use it.

A half of one of these helps me a lot. I have these feelings of overwhelming anxiety. I feel like I just robbed a bank and the cops are on thier way or my mind is racing with bad scary thoughts. This helps take them away and calm me and also when someone is attacking me at work, making me feel like I would normally explode or do/say the wrong thing, it helps me not to and to stop and think for a minute before I react. Sometimes I really need to do this but my normal self cannot. Thank God for these as they also help with much more and make me feel more normal and able to be in the world with others.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I have suffered from severe panic attacks for 15 years. Xanax is the ONLY medicine that has helped me. I don't take it 3 times daily as prescribed. I take it only when I have a panic attack. It works wonders!

alprazolam for Panic Disorder: We have a senior American Brittany Spaniel who suffered panic attacks. We gave 1.0 mg alprazolam in morning and 1.5 mg in the evening. This controlled his controlled the attacks. The dog has some motor function side effects at effective dosage that takes the form general clumsiness, however the serious panic attacks are very rare now.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Depression: I have severe depression and general anxiety disorder. I take 100mg/day of Zoloft, and that pretty well takes care of my depression, and most of my panic attacks. Occasionally, I'll take 0.25mg for a panic attack, but I'm cautious because sometimes the downside of coming off a panic attack sends me into a fit of depression. I highly recommend both Zoloft and Xanax, I just want to put the word out there to use good judgement when treating a panic attack when you have depression as well.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I have used Xanax since 1996. I love it. It has saved my life so many times, I can't count. I have gone through different times in my life, where I had to take 9mgs a day just to survive the panic attacks. My attacks come in cycles. I have had them since 7 years old and I am now 39. I am so tired of them and feeling them. I had a big one today as a matter of fact. I am going through withdrawl of getting off of Lexapro. I am never without my Xanax though. Simply carrying it around helps keep off the panic attacks sometimes. If I hadn't had it, I would have been put away or had killed myself long ago, because having panic attacks is no way to live.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I used to be prescribed this drug when I was about 17. I was taken off it because the doctors said it can be addicting. It really helped me get through my panic attacks.

alprazolam for Panic Disorder: Xanax saved my life. After being in a tornado, I started suffering from severe panic attacks and post traumatic stress syndrome. Anything that even just remotely reminded me of my ordeal would set off a terrible panic attack. The Xanax stopped this very well. It also helps my anxiety disorder. It is a true miracle drug. No side effects and it helps me so much.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I have generalized anxiety. Was on Klonopin for years mostly for sleep, but now I realize I have anxiety. I wanted so much off of benzo's, and finally after horrid withdrawal even tapering, got off Klonopin. Issues arose, heart palpitations, sweating, dry mouth, hair loss, everyone said back on Klonopin. I refused. Now my blood pressure also elevated.I am now taking xanax extended release and my blood pressure is normal, mouth not dry, no more sweating, palpitations.I feel normal again.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Depression: I've been on medication for hepatitis C for 48 weeks. I couldn't have made it without this drug. With the drug therapy I was on, I had thoughts of killing myself, long bouts of depression, endless sleepless nights, nightsweats, violent behavior, an all round terrible person to be around. Xanax saved my life and my marriage. Xanax helped me calm all of my side effects.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I used to get very aggravated over what normal people handle. I would go off. Have panic attacks and not know how to deal. Plus, I have tremors in my hands, mostly my right. Once I started taking Xanax the tremors stopped, I could deal calmly with my children when they got out of control. It helps me concentrate easier during the day & sleep well @ nite. It can have side affects though if you don't take it properly! Take it as prescribed and don't make yourself go through the withdrawals.

I take Xanax XR 3mg and it has worked better than any thing else I've tried. The good thing is I only need one a day. I have been on many benzodiazepines and anti-deppersents. Xanax XR has worked the best. Initially ( for 1 to 2 weeks)it made me feel "drunk" but I am used to it now and have no side effects.

I`ve had Ulcerative Colitis (U.C) since I was 17. At the age of 25 I thought I was having a heart attack and went to the emergency room. I was diagnosed with a panic attack ,they gave me a XANAX (1mg). No more heart attack. Told my doctor the story and with my history of U.C he prescribed 2mg a day. I'm now 37 years young and XANAX freed the tyranny of two debilitating conditions.

I have suffered from Anxiety and Depression for almost 10 years, could not find a better dose to easy my anxiety, the worst instant was that I could not sleep continually for more than 4 weeks, I was close to a nervous breakdown situation until I found my GP to bring me this medicine. Amazing result, now after taking for 6 months, I can sleep 4-5 days a week, though still need time to fully recover. Recommend to all who suffer from depression and can not calm yourself down.

I would have panic attacks and anxiety so bad I could not function in life. I lost weight, had nausea, could not sleep or eat and wanted to die. I was prescribed Xanax 0.25mg (the lowest dosage). I take half in the morning and half in the afternoon. Xanax has saved my life, I feel normal, can work, focus, and enjoy the time I do have with my daughter. It works!!

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: Efficacy never in doubt with this fast acting benzodiazapine. Alprazolam works on the neuro-transmitter GABA to induce calming effects. It is useful to many patients who try it and is preferred over similar medications because of its relative safety. Regardless of how it is used, it is very potent and may be habit forming. A typical dose for a recreational user or someone addicted to this drug may be many times what would be considered safe. If taking Xanax more than 4 mg per day then slowly taper.

I have this horrible habit of pulling out my hair- on my head,eyelashes, and other areas excessively.

I don't care what people say about the negative effects of xanax- I persoanlly know I needed it. I feel like the nightmare of my mind has been treated.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Xanax have helped me to calm down. I was really under stress (full time job, college every day, a small baby) but did not realize that at the time. I had some visual disturbances, especially when, finally, I could relax. I have experienced chest pains as well. My GP told me it is caused by stress and prescribed Xanax. I had to take the smallest dose at night (I was driving). I could see the difference after a month and I continued for one more month. I did not suffer any side effects.
