| 5 | Anxiety and panic | None | cut .25 pill in half so I could take .125 dose. My breathing from a sinus infection caused me to start with a panic attack when I became breathy and couldn't take a deep breath. .125 works | F | 72 | 4 days .125 1X day | 1/9/2014 | 5 | panic attacks/generalized anxiety | no adverse side effects | Klonopin is too easily and quickly habituated to, and doesn't break the blood/brain barrier for an entire hour. Valium is far more sedating but just doesn't do the trick for panic/anxiety. A combination which I am now on of 3 mg of Xanax XR 2 times a day and Xanax 1 mg 3 times a day in between is ideal. The Xanax doses in the middle relieve quite rapidly my panic/anxiety, and the morning and evening doses of Xanax XR provide me with an undercurrent of long-term day/night-long anxiety/panic relief. Do not expect sedation, but then again, that is not why I take these drugs. Xanax and Xanax XR trump all of the other benzos barnone. | M | 30 | 6 months 1 mg 3X day | 12/22/2013 | 5 | Depression/Anexity | Not sure but get mild pain in stomach hut this med help basically erase ur thoughts n allows you to sleep ;) I need it . Fit hit by a car n life changed even where I love n I'm mostly alone n get many panic attacks so I basically just sleep it off n now I notice memory also is an issue but I had that before it's just increases with meds | F | 36 | 1 years .5mg 2/3x | 12/20/2013 | 3 | 1 days | 12/15/2013 | 5 | nerves | none | F | 63 | 3 years 5 mg 2X day | 12/5/2013 | 5 | Situational anxiety, panic attacks | none negative | Doctor prescribed 0.5MG 1 - 2 x.day as needed but I have been very careful to leave the emphasis on AS NEEDED. I have only used 10 pills in total over the past 12 months. I can see how people could become addicted to it because the effects are very calming. I try to exercise and do other activities to keep my mind healthy and only take Xanax when I know I'm going to be in an overwhelming situation. One .5 mg pill works within about 20 min and lasts 4 - 6 hours for me. | M | 40 | 1 years 0.5 mg 1X day | 12/4/2013 | 5 | Anxiety Panic attacks | A little sleepy but other than that works great | F | 30 | 1 years 0 25mg | 11/9/2013 | 4 | Anxiety Attacks | Taken continuously for long periods or too high a dosage can leave me feeling a little spaced out and forgetful. | Puts me in an incredibly calm state. Very effective. Be careful - it's highly addictive. Should only be used in an emergency. Herbal remedies are better for long term use. | M | 52 | 10 years .25 1X AN | 10/24/2013 | 1 | Anxiety & Insomnia cause by Anxiety | No side effects. I guess everyone is different Xanax didn't work at all for me made me lightly drowsy for an hr and then I was back to normal. | M | 30 | 7 days 1mg | 10/17/2013 | 4 | Anxiety/restlessness | This medicine helped me with my anxiety and sleep when i had racing thoughts and no sleep. Its a slippery slope though. The lowest dose can feel like the highest when first taking. Not something to take every day. I reccomend never taking more thsn 2 days in a row to not build tolerance. Never had issues with withdrawl on it 6 months. Just dont take it every day. If needed everyday look else where for longer lasting like clozepam. For quick desperate relief a few times a week or month it can work well, but used more it doesnt work and will just make your anxiety worse with a new addiction. | M | 30 | 7 months .5-1mg | 10/12/2013 | 5 | Situational Anxiety, Panic | Mild fatigue | When facing a difficult task or criticism, my mind tends to freeze up and anxiety spikes to an uncontrollable heights. Only 1/2 of 0.5mg pill keeps me from loosing it totally in front of others and gives me back good control of my emotions. In an extremely stressful situations, I add another half of the pill. It takes about 15 min for X. to kick in and lasts close to 8 hours. I have tried several antidepressants with rather unpleasant side effects and Xanax seems to be the only med that works for me. | F | 38 | 2 years 0.125 3X W | 9/22/2013 | 5 | head injury stress | I felt like not like killing my self anymore 2 days after car accident i lost my mind, i was traveling in a Jesus freak town, at church they told me god would fix it, these self appointed experts tried to take me off my Xanax, and i almost had a heart attack from the stress. As for all these comments-you are you, they are them, i took Zanax 5 years at 6 mills a day, i tappered my self with zero discomfort down to 1 mg a day. learn your body, learn your mind, you are no one else but you, even throw the friggin TV out if reading wholesome books seems more your style. in this country you have to make your own culture, war, grave yard art, and music that goes no where can make you worse. Let no person part you from the truth so you may have a friend. all my side effects went away after 3 months. walking 3 miles a day in a beautiful area kept my health fine, and my sex life stayed fine walk in the woods, stay close to beauty, watch thyroid, Xanax can make it | FOR ME it is great stuff. for you it may be very bad.. | M | 58 | 1 .5 4X day | 9/18/2013 | 5 | Generalized Anxiety Disorder | Don't drink alcohol on this drug unless you intend to black out. Xanax has helped me in many situations that I would normally lose it in. I'm an extremely nervous/volatile person and Xanax has been very useful especially in my line of work dealing with high maintenance egotistical television execs. I would not be as successful or able to cope with half of the milestones I've reached in my life thus far. There have been times where I've begun to take too much but I recognize when this is beginning to happen and cut back. | F | 26 | 5 years 1 | 8/16/2013 | 1 | Anxiety panic attacks | It doesn't matter why a person would be prescribed this medication. Never allow your dr to fool you because with long time use it caused me depression lack of sexual sensation or want also it caused me to not have my period for a whole year and half . I would not ask my worse enemy to take this . I'm now working with my dr to taper me off and even when you tamper off it is so hard even with medical help. But I'm trust in God to help me regain my life and my health back. I am praying to be off Xanax it's ruined my life. Please use a different medication don't fall victim to Xanax | F | 31 | 7 years 1.5 mg | 8/4/2013 | 3 | anxiety attacks, insominia | This drug worked well for calming anxiety. I quit taking Lovastatin after I learned that's what was causing my anxiety, depression, insomnia and suicidal thoughts. Then I no longer needed the xanax, | F | 61 | 3 weeks 50 2X day | 8/3/2013 | 2 | F | 34 | 11 years 2 MG 4X day | 7/23/2013 Patient History | 5 | panic and anxiety | no side effects | It always calms me and works fast. | F | 58 | 4 years .05 2X day | 6/1/2013 | 5 | GAD (and occasional insomnia) | 1. Alcohol GREATLY increases effects. Took .5 mg at 3PM. At 7PM had a glass of wine. Almost passed out. | I use Xanax only once or twice a month for Anxiety and/or insomnia. It is a great help. However, I have found that if I take it too often then I develop a dependence and also need to take more to get the same effect. To avoid this, I keep very close tabs on how much I take and how often. If, I need to take it more often then it means I am not coping well and need to go back on an anti-depressant/ psychotherapy. | F | 56 | 8 years .5 -1mg 1X AN | 5/31/2013 | 3 | anxiety | After stopping I had anxiety that bad would not Leave house talk to anyone,I wanted to kill myself literally becoz of the agony I was going through it took 8 weeks to leave my home and feel some relief its hell.I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy | M | 30 | 4 years 8mg | 5/15/2013 | 5 | anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia | This has been a Godsend. The only issue is if I take one in the morning to help my pain meds work better, rather than just in the evening; it can make me a little groggy. Great for taking before a dentist appointment! | F | 56 | 3 years 1mg | 5/3/2013 |
