 5  anxiety attacks and depression I take the xanax on a low dosage, 2.5mg a day, to combat the anxiety as well as the side effects of Prozac. The only issue is the dependancy, and I have learned that you must taper off this drug even from a low dosage for a short time. I go through about one episode a year, ( suffer from SAD), so the long term effects don't worry me. I prefer to try the less addictive, buspar, ect.. but they just don't work.. Try not to be ashamed. This is a drug that gets alot of "OOH" the happy pill crap from people who don't understand depression. My fifth year of short term use. F 38 15 days

 5  anxiaty attacks Maybe when I first took them they made me alittle tired, but not no more. I have to be honest with you though, it makes you forget more after taken it awhile. So, I believe you do have some memory lose. It does help my attacks though. I still have a few now in then, but nothing like I did before. F 44 5 years

 2  Anxiety/Depression Felt like a zombie. Inability to function. Roller coaster effect as med was wearing off. I preferred Ativan to Xanax. Eventually began Klonopin and feel very stable yet able to function as usual. Prefer the longer acting benzos which alleviate the roller coaster effect I had on Xanax. F 29 7 days

 4  maj depression, anxiety, panic atks aside from from feeling slightly lethargic in the beginning - none although xanax doesn't do much to improve depression it DOES effectively alleviate mild-moderate anxiety. i'm also happy to report that it seems to work wonders for panic attacks as well...haven't had one since i've started taking it and i've been in sitautions that previously would have triggered one. i'm taking a relatively low dosage for a guy my size (i'm 6'5, 280 lbs and take one .5mg tablet twice daily) - if the dosage were increased i would assume it would be that much more effective but doctors, for good reason, prefer to prescribe the lowest possible effective dose. not a miracle drug but effective and has almost no side effects.

 5  anxiety none I like how you can break the pill in half, and if you don't feel better after 10 mins. you can take the other half. I like the anti-anxiety effect, but I don't want to feel out of control or like a zombie. I don't feel like that with xanax. F 41 11 days
