| 5 | Anxiety | It makes you sleepy, but that also helps to reduce the anxiety. | Works great!!! Just knowing that you have it helps reduce any anxiety. | F | 33 | 3 years | 8/17/2004 | 5 | Anxiety & Panic after Brain Surgery | Sedation | I began having anxiety and panic attacks after 2 brain surgeries. I took .5 mg when I felt an attack coming on. After my second brain surgery the panic attacks were severe. I took Xanax just about every day. I was put on an SSRI (we tried several) to try to prevent the attacks. There were too many side effects with them. I had no withdrawals from the Xanax and believe it's great if you use common sense when you take it. | F | 42 | 7 years | 8/8/2004 | 4 | severe anxiety / panic attacks | blurred vision / short term memory loss | This stuff is great in helping me cope with anxiety and panic attacks....I dont know how I would have made it as far as I did in life without it.... The only downside is trying to wean myself off the med..I find it literally impossible to stop.. : ( | F | 29 | 5 years | 8/8/2004 | 5 | cronic bladder/urethra inflammation | drowsiness It is addictive. It can cause one to want to overeat. | Xanax should be taken on a long term basis only as a last resort. After a massive ammount of medical intervention and different medications, it is the only drug that seemed to help me cope with my problems which were the after effects of surgery. It is not only anti-anxiety, but it calms bladder/urethral spasms. I now have myelodysplasia and often wonder if my long term use of xanax is partly responsible for that. My hemotologist thinks not. | F | 65 | 21 years | 8/7/2004 | 3 | panic attacks | Feel like a zombie during the day while on this medication, but it does stop the shakes and trembling of my hands - Hard to work while being in a | I don't want to stay on it for too long, and I hear trying to stop is difficult, which I'll find out about soon enough. | M | 33 | 14 days | 8/4/2004 | 4 | | 7/21/2004 | 4 | anxiety and depression; BPD | Taking with Neurontin and Effexor, so not sure whether this or the Neurontin could be causing some memory loss; Sometimes induces drowsiness; and sometimes produces no effects, but mostly brings on the first real | Again -- feels like it could be addictive and I am worried about asking my medical psychologist to up the dosage. Has definitely helped me deal with extreme anxiety and to cope with some life | M | 40 | 1 years | 7/19/2004 | 5 | Panic Disorder | Relief | This is by far more effective in combatting panic attacks that being thrown at the first anti-depressant on the market, which made mine worse. I wish the stigma from society that this medicine is viewed as abusing, hurts the very ones that need it to cope with their disorders. I guess not till someone starts stealing and selling chlosterol meds or Bp meds on the street, will they wake up and smell the roses that not everyone is a drug addict. | F | 41 | 13 years | 7/14/2004 | 4 | Panic/GAD | Horrible lightheadedness, a headache in the same spot frequently | Helped tremendously in terms of curing my agoraphobia....or at least covering it up so that I am able to function, earn a living, and lead a normal lifestyle. | F | 39 | 4 years | 7/5/2004 | 5 | the only way to extract the fullest | this drug must not become the forefront of the youth counter culture, as all who do , or have done do know that damned temporary gap in memory, etc, etc. what was i talking about again, oh yea., no pun there. | Well, i have searched it feels the entire internet for squabble and such on the interactions of this xanax with other drugs of the 'uplifting' nature. Well, it appears to me that one is in safety so long of course as one does not partake within the maoi bologna, whilst having a good time, for this catagory will kill you when mixed with the aforementioned 'uplifting'. Its something about monoamine inhibitors blocking a natural device within us all that deletes our naturally occuring monoamine, it is monoamine oxadase, which is responsibe for cleaning out the monoamines after they have served their purpose. But, this monoamine inhibitor says, as god did for the religious among us, we shal rest on the sunday, and so hinders our natural right to be crazy, for, it impedes its mission as a tough advarsary. next we come to the real problem, in so doing it, it thought for the hell of it, i mean why stop there, ill also block yet another, and destroy a mister tyramine, which just so happens to be responsible for blood pressure regulation, well i'll end with a quote from another contributer to this page, ' drop 1mg or 2mg and goodnight Irene ' wel said... | M | 18 | 1 days | 7/4/2004 | 5 | Severe Panic Disorder | combined with paxil cr 12.5mg (1 tablet in the morning) and xanax xr 1mg(which is the extended release of the regular xanax @betdime)the very first day I had anxiety, panic, wierd thoughts. | the very first time was horrible, like having another panic attack, but when the body got used to it I am having a great time, the paxil makes me *happy* and the xanax is like (hate to say it this way) but is like being stoned all day, in a good way, no more panic, CAREFUL DRIVING! and take your pill on time because the withdrawal is worse than those from heroin...I DO know. I am talking about 1 whole mg of xanax in an extended release. but I recommend 100% | F | 25 | 6 months | 6/18/2004 | 1 | anxiety | No side effects while taking the drug! It was like a miracle.....until my doctor quit practice and no other doctors would prescribe it. The addiction factor is NOT WORTH IT! Too bad, because it does deal with anxiety 100% with no other side effects.......until you try to stop. | I bought that lie about | F | 50 | 10 years | 6/2/2004 | 5 | anxiety | It was prescribed for anxiety, but it turned to be a great recreational drug. More fun than alcohol, fewer side effects. Will destroy short-term memory. | Man, ADDICIVE, extremely. | 4 weeks | 5/25/2004 | 5 | | 5/12/2004 | 4 | Anxiety | none, but the withdrawls are hell. I have been taking it for years now and i still cannot wean myself off of it. I would love to, if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Thanks | F | 25 | 3 years | 5/12/2004 | 4 | anxiety, depression, sleep aid | none. Takes the edge off. I only use occasionally (few times a month) because of known addictive potential. | F | 35 | 2 years | 5/5/2004 | 4 | | 5/3/2004 | 4 | | 4/29/2004 | 5 | panic and anxiety | all good effects | between pills and psychiatrist I am addicted and trying hard to get off of them, I no longer have anxiety or panic but feel bad after a few days without the pills | F | 75 | 35 years | 4/23/2004 | 5 | Anxiety/PanicAgoraphobia | The first day I took 0.5mg fell asleep for about an hour, was VERY tired. Woke up with lightheadedness.That was the only time I experienced any side effets. | It gave me part of my life back. I can grocery shop without paying a friend to do it for me. I seem to be much more relaxed, not addicted to it, I take 2 pills a day at 0.5mg. Weaning off it now to start 25mg of Zoloft. | F | 49 | 1 years | 4/21/2004 |
