Xanax (alprazolam): With the panic attacks I get it seems Xanax works fairly fast, when I feel one coming on, or even when I am in the middle of one. It calms me down, and I can cope. I have taken it for several years, and have felt no side effects. I am glad it is available to me.

Xanax (alprazolam): 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: 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.

Xanax (alprazolam): I have taken Xanax for over ten years. I used to have full blown panic attacks. I take Xanax when I feel one coming on and it disappears quickly. I could not live or cope without them. They are a lifesaver. I take 1mg tablets three times a day.

Xanax (alprazolam): I find that xanax .5mg works good for panic attacks, but tends to make me very sleepy. My doctor switched me to Clonazepam .5 mg and after 2 days I feel really good and it doesn't make me sleepy at all. It takes a couple minutes longer then xanax to work, but that outweighs the side effects of the xanax. I have servere panic attacts, but not anymore. It got so bad that I could watch tv and if someone was standing on a bridge or anything up high I would flip out. Not no more with Clonazepam. 10+

Xanax (alprazolam): Xanax saved me during my separation/divorce. We have one child and the realization that I would only see her on weekends destroyed me. 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 XR (alprazolam): This medication is amazing, mostly because it starts working immediately and you don't have to wait a few weeks like with other medicines. My doctor had me taking it regularly for two months until my lexapro and seroquel kicked in, and then weaned me off of it. I now take it only every once in a while.

Xanax (alprazolam): 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.

Xanax (alprazolam): Xanax has helped me so much with handling all of lifes problems and with helping me with my children! I have two boys that mean the world to me. I lost my job after 18 years and everything got on my nerves. I went to my doctor and told him I was trying to sleep alot cause I could not handle lossing my job and worrying about how I was gonna pay my bills if I couldnt draw my employment. I would know that in 6 days,so I went on Xanax and it changed my life! I NOW KNOW I'LL MAKE IT NO MATTER WHAT - JUST TRY IT!

alprazolam: I have bad anxiety sometimes, occasional panic attacks. but when I have panic attacks, I have BAD panic attacks. They help when I take one .25mg pill, sometimes if its really bad I have to take two.

Xanax (alprazolam): Completely helps with panic disorder, PTSD, and GAD. I have all three and Xanax provides immediate results to help calm me down. This is the only medication that works for my condition and recommend this to those who need help fast.

Xanax (alprazolam): it works in association with my anti-depressant to bring about a well rounded me, but it is there to take when my panic attacks hit, it quickly takes effect and calms me.
