| 5 | Insomnia | Slight amnesia and dry mouth. | Just half a pill an hour before bed enabled me to sleep immediately and wake up 7 hours later. It ended the excessive worrying and thinking about life and work and the toss and turn and can't sleep type insomnia. | F | 34 | 1 months | 10/11/2003 | 5 | | 9/16/2003 | 3 | anxiety, panic attacks | did not notice any side effects, but I don't use if very often | I did not notice the immediate response I was hoping for, nor the sustained effect. | F | 26 | 15 times | 9/16/2003 | 5 | Panic Disorder/GAD | Dry mouth, very thirsty. Regardless this pill will alleviate your anxiety and make you feel good and normal very quickly. | Euphoria. You feel so good after taking the pill. If you feel like you are about to have a panic attack, I recommend putting a .25 mg pill under your tongue. The pill will dissolve quickly and then swallow it. It will work in less than 4 minutes. If you swallow it whole with water it takes about 10 minutes. | M | 32 | 2 weeks | 9/7/2003 | 5 | panic attacks | tired at first | wonderful,worked quickly took my paranoid fears away | F | 33 | 2 years | 8/22/2003 | 5 | DEPRESSION | M | 52 | | 6/16/2003 | 2 | anxiety | addiction | very addictive | F | 27 | 10 years | 6/2/2003 | 4 | panic & anxiety attacks | sleepiness, but didn't mind. Was hyper & had Hypertension & it kept me calmed | Did well on it but just switched to generic - alprazolam & had first anxiety attack in years & no get up & go | F | 70 | 20 years | 5/6/2003 | 5 | to get high/ nah - anxiety | what was what what? | i feel like junkie | F | 20 | 1.5 years | 4/29/2003 | 5 | anxiety/panic attacks | loss of inhibition- and especially memory in doses exceeding 20mg :) | its not strong enough- now rohypnol- thats a drug | F | 21 | 2 years | 4/29/2003 | 5 | Panic Disorder | First week of treatment involved heavy drowsiness and slight tension headache. The second week side effects mostly diappeared, except drymouth with a metallic taste. | I was prescribed xanax to help control panic attacks that I was experiencing due to layoff and stress. This medication will help you cope with these attacks by sedating you and calming you down. I took three pills each day the first week, and then two the following week. Now I only take one twice a week. Once you learn how to cope with your attacks, slowly ween yourself off this medication. Side effects are mild to moderate. | M | 23 | 3 weeks | 4/21/2003 | 5 | panic disorder | none | I had to drink 24 cans off beer a day before I got xanax. Now I don't drink at all. I take 8 mg of xanax a day and I can now live a normal life. I can now leave home and do things that I could never do without the medication. I would much rather stay on my xanax, than ever go back to a destructive drug (like alcohol). People can say all they want to about addiction, but for the mentally ill, being addicted to xanax is alot better life than being under the influence of alcohol. Xanax has improved my life greatly. With it, I am sober, and yet able to get out and do normal things. If I did not have it, I would be in alot of trouble. The use of this drug is stigmatized. Doctor's fear giving it for fear of addiction; however, when used properly it is such a Godsend. I hope anyone reading this will understand how wonderful this drug can be when used properly and effectively! | M | 34 | 14 years | 1/13/2003 | 4 | Migraine | None | Only taking it occassionally... | M | 35 | | 1/11/2003 | 5 | panic attacks | none | i love xanax!take it with a beer its great. | M | 29 | | 1/3/2003 | 1 | panic attacks, anxiety | RUN AWAY! hard to stop and hard even to cut back to cut back. If I could do it all over again, knowing what I know now I would have got into meditation and breathwork(which after 4 months has allowed me to drop .5 mg. per day)a lot sooner. | M | 47 | 5 years | 12/30/2002 | 4 | Panic and anxiety | None | I take a total of five 1mg pills daily and I can live a normal life with them | M | 52 | 9 years | 12/27/2002 | 3 | to help me sleep | I became addicted to them, I checked myself into a hospital and was clean for a few months, now I'm back in the same boat as before, can't go without them, the withdrawls are awful (maybe not as bad as some other drugs, but I don't like the feeling). I recommed that if you have to take them don't abuse them. | F | 33 | 2 years | 12/10/2002 | 4 | Anxity | M | | 10/7/2002 | 4 | Anxiety attacks | It made me yawn and sleepy but I cut down the dosage and then I could function fine. | This drug works great for me. It makes me calm when I am freaking out, and it helps me sleep. I can take it on an as-needed basis. The only problem is that is supposed to be addictive and you have to take more as time goes by. | F | 33 | 2 months | 9/6/2002 | 5 | Anxiety, muscle spasms. | Drowsiness | It works better if dissolved under the tongue, I take it before bed as a muscle relaxer as well as anti-anxiety. My dose is 1mg and I can combine it with my opioid pain medication. | F | 21 | 4 months | 8/13/2002 |
