User Reviews for Xanax oral

I don't have panic attacts, but I had a really bad day and took 1mg for sleep, I did have 2 glasses of wine at dinner. I slept fine, did not have bad dreams, but I am dizzy this morning and can not go to yoga or the gym. It ruined my day. I will not take it again. I have never taken it before, everyone at work raved about it. It is not for me BC I love having energy during my day.

Xanax is a life saver for me. It makes me a better person and improved my life quality. Without it my mind is like an analog TV white noise. I couldn’t accomplish anything in my life. Now I finished my masters and play a critical role in aerospace and defense. Nothing but a positive experience for me.

I have always had anxiety but developed GAD after having Covid and being hospitalized. I also developed horrific derealization since then as well, I haven’t taken Xanax in over a year, and klonopin was not doing anything for my anxiety (which I wasn’t aware it is not approved for GAD.) I took one last night and was surprised I could focus during the day at work, my mind wasn’t racing my body was fairly calm and my thought process wasn’t bouncing around with tasks. My focus was also not on my derealization all day. Read More Read Less

I deal with very bad anxiety and have panic attacks on the regular this medicine helps calm me so much and helps me get throughout my day so good

I've been taking xanax since 2001, I am weening off of it now because I was taking it 4x a day and the doctor put me on buspiron (miss-spell) and now I'm down to 2mg a day. But I have had GERD since 2010 and do not get the burning but the pain from my sternum up the middle to my chest, neck, jaw, gums and ears. I would take 1mg and it took it away within 5-10 minutes. Nothing else helped with the GERD. But my doctor that I have now says that Xanax is not made for GERD. But everyones body is different. Other than that I have never had a problems with Xanax and it works for me with no side effects.Read More Read Less

This drug has saved me on a thousand occasions, from generalized anxiety associated to major depressive disorder to panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder and even somatic tension, up to situations of severe insomnia where the next day I had to get up early in the morning. I have always considered Xanax a godsend, it is an excellent anxiolytic and it is very useful also for those suffering from sleep disorders, because it does not leave heaviness or numbness the next day, due to its short duration of action in the body. My average dosage is 20 drops (0.50 mg). What can I say, to me it is the best anxiolytic!Read More Read Less

It helps me fall asleep but I keep having nightmares when I take it.

I was prescribed Xanax over 20 years ago for anxiety, racing heart, panic when faced with a troubling situation. I am a video producer and when a big event is coming up I tend to get very anxious and if things don't go smoothly the anxiety gets worse until sometimes I can't properly function. This is also related to the fact that I am a perfectionist, so if things don't go smoothly (at work) I often break out into heavy sweats. My doctor prescribed very low dose Xanax (.25 mg) and I usually cut the pills in half. One half of a pill calms me down quite well when necessary. I take another half only if things become very stressful. The med does exactly what it's supposed to do for my anxiety. I don't abuse Xanax at all - a 20 pill prescription will last me a year or more. My doctor also monitors and controls my usage carefully.Read More Read Less

I was given this medication 6 1/2 yrs ago .025 dosage as needed while I was in treatment for breast cancer. Periodically I still get night terrors, that my disease has returned. And going for scans etc is scary. All I’m told, is very common for what I experienced. The meds help during the worst “episodes” or painful tests. & the idea of the meds help, just knowing that I have something to ease that fear. I’ve experienced no SE. or addiction. Not ever taken it on a daily basis.

I have been taking .5 Xanax 3 or 4 times a day for a good ten years … it worked but made me drowsy Tapering off of this has been a very hard experience … so be warned if us super addictive.

For anyone out there whom is in the devil grip of this monster drug, run get some help immediately!! This drug has the potential to ruin your life. For those who are in the middle of detox and if you decide to go turkey, this drug could kill you so please don't go cold turkey like I did and it took me two years to feel myself again!! The list of withdrawal symptoms goes on forever and never stops like confusion, extreme heat that runs up and down your body, extreme brain fog, sight problems, feeling like your looking at yourself from the out side, hard to read, hard to watch tv, you can just lay there and listen to music helps a little. I could on on and on about how this withdrawal will grab you and not let you know so make the smart choice and choose life and if your on Xanax, go get help now!! If you feel that it's time to quit, make sure you go to your local services or drug center and ask for help. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T GO COLD TURKEY.!! BLESS YOU ALL.Read More Read Less

I dont want or wish this horror on anyone.. My thoughts are so jumbled I hope I made sense.. I WANT MY LIFE BACKRead More Read Less

I was having a very hard time with work related stress. The medication really helped me. I only used it very rarely but having it available "just in case" helped me alot.

Tried many other natural remedies. Nothing helped. I take 0.50 a day. .25 an and .25 pm. Hated to use it. But I now feel normal after suffering for 1.5 yrs. I use formula 303 for sleep.

Xanax has worked for me very well after trying countless other meds first because of a bad reputation that is not really true. I started Xanax in 1997 and It might not be for everyone, but it has worked for me well with talk therapy. It is not perfect, but close to it. I was on a high dose 6 mg per day and am down to 5mg now. I started with .25 three times a day and went to .5mg then 1mg and in 2009 ended at a total 6mg of 2mg bars per day and that is all i needed and never asked for more. I have raised my two girls had my own business and owned my own home. At this point in my life i would like to wean my self off slowly with the help of my Doctor and try cannabis and meditation. If you use cannabis and or drink and take Xanax think carefully about what your doing!!! What a long strange trip it's beenRead More Read Less

I have had crippling anxiety and panic attacks for as long as I can remember. I was put on lexapro and made me feel extremely suicidal so I quit after 1 month of using it. I was than put on .50mg Xanax and it has fixed all of my major mental health issues. I can see how this medication could be very addictive however. Just be very cautious of how and when you decide to take it!

Works for me with no side effects.

I will not recommend this medication, it almost ruin my life with plenty of side effects.??????
