| 5 | stress anxiety | I am 17 years old and i have been through the entire family of bensoz's furazepam, diazapam(valium),temezepam(restoril, Bromazapam, Lectopam, Alprazolam(xanax)and my favorit of all the best of that best NITRAZEPAM(Mogadon. when times get hard i take a couple of .50mg xanax and 2 10mg mogadons amd its like the world dont exist and i am in a better place than this but its all a lie reality comes back | M | 17 | 4 years | 12/9/2004 | 4 | Social Anixety | very mild sedation | I take .5mg on a as needed basis. Works ok, but I think I am going to try klonopin. The klonopin reports seem to show a better control of social anxiety symptoms over xanax. | M | 19 | 2 days | 12/8/2004 | 5 | Depression, Anxiety | Just some sleepiness at first. This went away after a week or so. | I was prescribed Celexa and Xanax when I came down with very severe tinnitus and hyperacusis (hyper-sensitivity to all sound). The Xanax kicked in immediately to reduce the depression/anxiety until the 40 MG of Celexa became totally effective many weeks later. I was taking .375 MG of Xanax 5 times a day. This dosage gave me a very steady, even dose of Xanax over the entire day and it worked wonders. After the Celexa became fully effective, I started cutting down on the Xanax VERY gradually over a VERY long period of time (six months). I had absolutely no problems tapering off. My hyperacusis disappeared completely and I underwent Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) to habituate to the tinnitus. I am still taking the 40 MG of Celexa and don't plan on stopping. I have no side-effects from it, feel great, and, since there is severe depression in my family, my doctor and I feel that it is best that I stay on it. I still take .125 to .500 MG Xanax once a day on an as-needed basis, when I cannot sleep due to sensitivity to caffeine and some medications. Luckily, I have a very supportive and understanding psychiatrist who constantly monitors my usage, but understands my needs. | M | 53 | 43 months | 12/7/2004 | 1 | insomnia | weight loss, ejaculation problems | M | 90 days | 12/7/2004 | 1 | in bad Kaiser hospital | Confusion, insomnia, hyperactivity | This drug is on the | F | 39 | 3 days | 11/26/2004 | 5 | anxiety | teeth grinding, sleepiness if taken too much | Works best for anxiety. I've taken valium, soma, zoloft, and this is the best. It is addictive, like all the others, but better than spending the rest of your life not being able to leave the house or go to work. | F | 25 | 1 months | 11/15/2004 | 2 | anxiety | memory loss, tolerance, withdrawl, and diminishing returns | F | 24 | 6 years | 11/15/2004 | 3 | Anxiety | Tiredness and sometimes a headache. | F | 40 | 8 months | 11/12/2004 | 5 | to get wasted | really drunk feeling, stumbling, slurred speach | greatest thing since qualudes. | M | 18 | 20 times | 11/9/2004 | 1 | anxiety, but now as a sleep aid. | Sleepyness. | This is the best sleep aid ever ! I take it now when I can't fall asleep. I wouldn't recommend this medicine for anxiety it makes you too sleepy. | M | 23 | 2 weeks | 11/7/2004 | 2 | anxiety | Sleepyness, yawning and the feeling that it was going to ware off. Not to mention it hit me to fast and all i wanted to do was sit. It was quite retarding. Unlike diazepam (valium) Xanax didn't do it for me and Xanax also gave me a mild case of the mild munchies the first time it kicked in. | In my opinion, Xanax is better as a sleeping pill. Valium is better for anxiety than Xanax. Xanax was just to... I don't know, but I didn't go out and get a job or talk to people that much when I was on it. I was still hanging around the house. So after trying it and not being satisfied I went back to valium. | M | 23 | 2 days | 11/3/2004 | 2 | anxiety | Sleepyness, yawning and the feeling that it was going to ware off.

Xanax is very addictive and like any benzodiasepine they seem to worsen the anxiety level if you stop taking them therfore making it very difficult to stop. The best way is the hardest: to learn how to deal with your anxiety and problems without any medicine. | M | 30 | 2 years | 10/18/2004 | 4 | panic attack | I have had problems when hospitalized with withdrawal due to unavailiability of drug.

I take 3 .5 a day. No more panic attacks!! I could not function without this drug. It really helped me. | F | 39 | 3 years | 10/12/2004 |
