Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: It has helped me more than I can describe, beyond words. The calming effects it has on the mind and brain are the best. It has never slowed my work down in fact it gave me more confidence and energy.

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: It does what it is intented for very well (panic attacks). However, take the alcohol warning VERY seriously; you can black out while appearing awake to others. This usually never leads to good things.

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.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: 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.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: 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) for Panic Disorder: 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) for Panic Disorder: 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 (alprazolam) : Best medication out there for stopping a panic attack in progress by far. Xanax will probably put you to sleep. 10 rating is for its ability to stop an attack.

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.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: 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!

Xanax (alprazolam) for Panic Disorder: Xanax has saved my life and my mind! I've been taking it for 13 years for PTSD (Post Traumatic Disorder) & Major Panic Disorder. Prior to that I was given Valium for about 8 years. It was okay for anxiety but it did not PREVENT panic attacks. I've not had a full-fledged panic attack since I started taking it. It had gotten to the point with me that my panic attacks had started lasting all day instead of 20 mins to an hour. I was torture. For me, the benefits have FAR outweighed any risks to me.

Xanax (alprazolam) for Anxiety: 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) for Depression: I have extreme depression and Anexity- sometimes panic attacks. I have this horrible habit of pulling out my hair- on my head,eyelashes, and other areas excessively. Xanax and Lexapro have made me feel normal- for the first time in years I actually have eyelashes growing in. 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: 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) 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.
