"I have taken them for 45 years and now my body and emotions must have it. At my age, it's easier to leave my dosage alone rather than try to wean off of 45 years of taking it. It controls anxiety and BPD and panic episodes. Don't like that it's scheduled IV, but doctors lose their minds when you ask them to continue treatment with alprazolam."

"Stay away from all benzodiazepines if you have BPD. You'll rage like nobody's business the next day."

"Alprazolam has been a lifesaver for me due to PTSD. I experience anxiety, depression, BPD symptoms, which I think all run in the family, plus due to severe childhood and adult traumas. My dose of alprazolam I take is 1 mg 3 times a day. I have struggled with addiction issues with substances before, and if I drink too much alcohol with alprazolam, it can cause bad side effects for me. But if taken as prescribed and I try to incorporate it with counseling, a healthy diet, and exercise, plus little or no alcohol, alprazolam can be highly therapeutic for many. I feel Xanax generics can sometimes vary in effectiveness, so check different pharmacies if you feel a generic is not working well enough for you!"
