alprazolam: 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): 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.

alprazolam: This drug saved my life. 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.

Xanax (alprazolam): This drug has changed my life. I have always had an anxiety problem since I was a child. Didn't have a good childhood, got picked on because I was fat, etc. My parents always faught and everything would just worry me. Some nights I couldn't sleep. I've been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for so long. I feel like people are talking bad about me. I used to get paranoid and get really anxious in public and had social pobia. I can cope with everything now.

Niravam (alprazolam): I have been taking Niravam for over 2 years now. This is by far the most efective treatment for anxiety/ panic attacks that I have tried. However, I am also on Lexapro, Effexor, and Cymbalta which also help combat anxiety by adjusting neurotransmiters in order to decrease the frequency of attacks. Deffinately a great med for those who truly need it!

alprazolam: This drug works well for anxiety and anxiety attacks. Sometimes it doesn't work quickly enough for me, but there really isn't a more fast acting drug in pill form that I'm aware of.

Xanax (alprazolam): Xanax has helped me tremendously, I was having severe anxiety attacks real bad! My doctor at the time worked next door with in the same buliding/office, and he had witnessed my attacks and finally prescribed me just 1 mg Xanax, and he told me to take 1 half in the morning and 1 half at evening. It took a while but finally I was attack free. I feel like I can live my life now!

Xanax (alprazolam): I wish doctors would open their eyes and prescribe this medicine easier. Just because I panic easily doesn't mean I'm a psychotic. Docs, lighten up! I need them!

Xanax (alprazolam): 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.
