For Anxiety "I have had panic attacks on planes, and I stopped traveling for a while. However, after being prescribed alprazolam 1 mg to take 1 hour before boarding, I never experienced one panic attack anymore. Life-saving drug! I am 6 ft 3 in, 103 kg, 1 mg - 1 hour before the flight works like a charm. Side effects experienced: loss of memory (ended up with a £3 charge on my card from Ryanair and had to contact them to see what that was about - apparently bought a bottle of water during the flight. £3 for a bottle of water...) Apart from this side effect, everything was ok. Calm, very calm!"

For Depression "Alprazolam definitely helps TMJ. Helps the anxiety for the most part. I have built some immunity to it, though I notice my depression is extremely worse in the morning. I’m pretty sure that my tolerance is high for sedatives now, as I’ve woken up during a colonoscopy and had to have extra sedation for a translam epidural. I’ve been taking it for a lot of years. I was almost off of it, but I was having trouble with the med they give you to control side effects, as going off of it without a psychiatrist’s help can really be bad for you (seizures, heart issues). The withdrawal is pure nightmare material without any help. The bf took his life at that time also, so back to square one. I do wish the doctors would stress how addictive this medication is. Only a few should be prescribed at one time. Taken three days and you will be weaning yourself off. I have noticed memory issues, though. Good luck to all."

Alprazolam for Anxiety "I was prescribed these for an onset of panic attacks that would spike my BP to 175 over 130. Taking these 0.5 mg pills did nothing but make me lose my short-term memory. I still felt panicked, and my BP would only drop slightly until I rode out the attack."

For Anxiety "Worked well for a month, then showed its real face. Ended up with memory loss, poor concentration, lightheaded, and feel like a corpse with no life, rather wish life had ended."
