User Reviews for Alprazolam

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Good

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Does what it's supposed to do, but don't stop taking it cold turkey. You definitely need to ween yourself off if you've been taking it for awhile.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Depression: I have been diagnosed with depression and panic disorder (for 20 years now). I learned over the years that if I could keep my anxiety/panic under good control I would be much less likely to go into depression (uncontrolled anxiety greatly increases the chance I will experience depression). Xanax works extremely well at keeping my anxiety (and hence depression) under control. These days I don't need to use it continuously because just knowing that Xanax is there and works so well if I need it has a calming effect. I didn't give Xanax 10/10 though because it has one annoying side effect for me: it kills my libido rather effectively if I take it for a few days. Apart from that, very tolerable - way more so than any antidepressant I was on.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I am a 33 year old mother of 4 and suffered from depression and very bad anxiety for 5 years. Been in hospital 11 times, the longest 6 months. They filled me with all sorts of medicines at some points. I was so out of it but then a new doctor I met gave me Xanax along with some other antidepressants and I am doing fine and living a normal life. I think these are great.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I have had tremendous benefits from just 0.25mg taken as needed. I previously had lived with anxiety and panic (from social situations, particularly work meetings, eating out at restaurants, etc) for about 9 months before working up the courage to see my doctor. I started developing avoidance tendencies, and decided that I was tired of letting anxiety run my life. I am careful to take it only as needed, and would highly recommend for those with occasional severe anxiety or panic. I've been exercising more and focusing hard on positive thinking, and that combination with the occasional Xanax has been tremendous. Remember, you have an awesome life to live!

alprazolam for Anxiety: After serving 20 years in the military as a recruiter and as a husband, this medicine has definitely been a life saver especially now that I have to spend a lot of time around a critical spouse. The doctor did advise me to seek therapy and exercise in addition to taking the medication but the medicine seemed to make everything ok. Keep in mind that if you do have mental issues it is better to deal with that 1st BEFORE resulting to something that is addictive as this.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I used to work for a bank and I was being helped by one of my colleagues on opening an account for a customer. I was making many mistakes, I began to panic and I was sweating profusely. The customers wouldn't make much conversation with me because they felt they we're making me nervous. I had to excuse myself to take a breather in the break room! Xanax has helped me become more relaxed and socially open with strangers. I feel like my job interviews are going to be pleasant now! The only side effect I experience is tiredness after the medicine wears out, but that only lasted for about 1 hour for me.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: When the world is closing in on me I take a Xanax and suddenly I'm able to function again. I can learn and adapt and I feel like I can capture and retain information better. Without it any new information is lost on me and my learning process is inhibited. The little stuff is not a problem anymore and I can focus on accomplishing anything I need to. I didn't start having anxiety attacks until after college. I did really well and all of a sudden I felt like in the real world I could not meet the expectations because of how well I did in school. Everything became too much. Debt, learning a new job, reading (which is my favorite thing to do), being with family and friends. I hit a wall. Even with anti-depressants I could not function.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: I've been on 1mg of Xanax-1 tablet 4 times a day along with 20mg of Prozac. I have severe panic disorder. I've been on this dose for many years and have not experienced any "tolerance" issues. Xanax get's a bad rap because many people abuse it or go above the Dr's prescribed dose. See your Dr. if this isn't working for you. Don't take more than what you're prescribed. Everybody breaks down medications differently.

Alprazolam Intensol (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: Calming and starts to work within 15 minutes. Has been a lifesaver for me over the years. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Xanax is great. It gets rid of anxiety but makes me drowsy.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: It helps me from having severe anxiety attacks, I do go through normal emotions, so I only take them when I get too overwhelmed and I am going to have an anxiety attack. They are very helpful.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Very good. A little drowsiness after panic subsides, though I'm not sure if this is due to a physiological response to subsiding high levels of hormones associated with fight/flight response (e.g., cortisol and adrenaline) involved in panic attacks.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Helps me a lot.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I have been taking Xanax since 2003 and I absolutely love it. I have a social anxiety disorder it makes me extremely nervous to be around large groups of people, even my friends. When I don't have my Xanax, I'm no fun to be around and I have high levels of anxiety. Not fun. Bottom line, Xanax really has saved my life. There were times when I was suicidal and without it, I may not be here. I would recommend it to anyone who needs it.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I lost the father of my kids almost 3 years ago and this medicine has helped me cope with that and my depression and anxiety and panic attacks. It's a miracle. If used like it is suppose to be used. This is the best medication I have found out there. I take 0.5 mg 4 times a day and it seems to be working great but you do build up a tolerance.

Xanax (alprazolam): Xanax is the perfect solution for those of us who have trouble sleeping, Off to sleep you go !!! no strange thoughts buzzing around your head, just quality restfull sleep with no groggy after affects, but i do wonder if it so astute at switching my brain off from random thoughts is it affecting my ability at work and such, (ie) to just cruise and be content instead of getting on the front foot and nutting things out, being a go getter?? i only use as required and cant praise this substance enough.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I've taken Xanax for years for occassional insomia. For the past year, I've been battling with high blood pressure along with some new health issues that popped up. For the last two weeks, my heart has been racing and my stomach has had butterflies. I really felt like hiding under the covers and didn't know why. I kept wondering why am I SO afraid lying in bed watching TV? I felt as though my heart was about to just rip itself out of my chest. So I decided to take a Xanax during the day and it was like a miracle cure. Hopefully, the panic attacks wont last forever, but thank God, I had something to help.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: Just great. I do not use the prescribed amount (0.5mg every 8 hours or every 4 hours as needed). I have not used for a week now but just took 1/2 pill and 25 minutes later I feel good.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: I do not use nearly the dosage prescribed to me (0.5mg every 8 hours or every 4 hours as needed). I have used 8 pills in the last 21 days and none since a week ago. I was feeling a little anxious just now and took a half pill and 25 minutes later I feel relaxed and find it easier to breath.

alprazolam for Depression: I was put on Xanax and Zoloft 100mg and my life is changing for the better everyday. I can't thank my Dr enough! I stayed in the house for a year. Lost all contact with the outside world and NOW I'm slowly getting back. It helps.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I personally get more results with 1 mg. I've been using these for 5 years to treat my anxiety.

alprazolam for Anxiety: I started on Klonopin because I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks also I have social phobia. At first the Klonopin helped with the anxiety but nothing else. I am now on 2 mg twice a day of Xanax and couldn't function without it. It truly is a miracle and doctors need to stop being so afraid of prescribing it because they might get in trouble for over prescribing but for the people that really need it and take it legitimately there should be no problems prescribing it, again it has done miracles for me and I don't think I could function without it.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: Amazing. Helps so much with my panic attacks. It works almost instantly, which is just what I need. By the time Xanax kicks in, the worst of my panic attack has lessened. This medicine allows me to quickly nip the attack in the bud and allow me to function normally. It does taste terrible, but is worth it! Great medicine. Fast working and effective. What more could you ask for?

alprazolam for Anxiety: Lowest dosage took the edge of the anxiety off. Was not dopey, and was able to function and focus.
