 5  agoraphobia, claustrophobia euphoria, I am also experienceing tinitis, ringing in my right ear, I do not know if this is due to xanax or not. I have been in show business as a musician, doing tours and cruise ships. The first major contract I got I had to terminate 3 months into it due to extreme anxiety from riding a bus every day, dealing with too many people and feeling claustrophobic in the bus.After being prescribed the drug, I was able to do several long term contracts that allowed me to save some money and buy a home, I sold the home at a big profit and got a better home with land. I now live in a very rural area, I still have problems with being around groups of people. I feel I have been discriminated against with at least one cruise line I worked for when I listed xanax as a prescription drug I took, I think the info got back to the office. The doctor thought I could'nt perform my duties with this medication, even though I had fulfilled many contracts for the company in the past. Normally I take 1 mg. at night to sleep, and .25 to .5 mg. during days I think I need it, which is not often. M 50 6 years

 4  anxiety, depression memory loss, decreased concentration, drowsiness Well, I just got out of rehab. Got hooked on the stuff, never thought it would happen to me but the right (or should I say wrong) combination of social stress and the right amont of the drug led me to a really bad situation. Although Xanax helped me through situations (I think, I really can't remember) the withdrawal and post-acute withdrawal symdrome were worse than any anxiety attack. BEWARE! F 45 10 years

 1  For anxiety Tachycardia, flushing, chills, heavy menstrual bleeding, anxiety, problem concentrating, weight gain. This medication should be banned. Because of this medicine I made numerous (sometimes) embarrassing trips to the E.R. Diagnosed with SVT no known reason given. I traced it myself to the use of xanax....stopped taking it and had a seizure. I never took more than 1mg at a time (daily) this medicine does more harm than good and docs don't always share important info with you. It took me a long time to figure out that it was the xanax causing me so many problems. F 48 7 years

 5  Anxiety No side effects For treating severe anxiety Xanax is a miracle drug. But I only take it when absolutely necessary, which is very seldom. If one takes it too often, there is the risk becoming dependent on it, as it can be habit forming with loss of effectiveness. It is not a drug for everyday use. But when you really need it, it works.

 4  panic attacks, constant turmoil panic attacks, crying, jittery, nervous stomache, diarea Have been totally taking it easy the past two days. Got some Xanax from my Dr a few weeks ago, and didn't take them, for fear of addiction and sleepiness they've given me in the past. But I finally took one yesterday and today and they really helped alot. The point at which I decided to just take them, was when a complete stranger told me to F 56 3 days

 4  migraines from anxiety & stress slight sleepiness. I'd rather take Xanax than my Paxil CR, seems to work better for me. But my specialist doesn't want me to take them, would rather have me take Paxil, personally I think he's getting a kickback from the Paxil people. He won't write me any more scripts for Xanax, only Paxil. F 37 2 months

 5  Panic Attacks None I feel foolish saying that sometimes I only take 1/2 of a .25 daily, Depending on the level of anxiety. I have went without them for weeks at a time, so the addictive part for some people must be mind, not physical. I have tried Zoloft and Paxil and hate the way they make me feel, and the fact you have to take them every day. Xanax is great for people who know their F 51 5 years
