User Reviews for Xanax oral

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.??????

I have just lost my son they have me sleeping better Terry my son ????only a couple of months

Best medicine, no side effects, I will recommend this.

Today is my first day taking Xanax. I have never had a anxiety/panic disorder until recently. I have been dealing with caring for my husband being terminal with cancer and being the only one working to pay the bills. Working long hours, caring for a sick husband and doing all of the daily chores around the house and farm has become extremely overwhelming. I was constantly feeling like I couldn't breath, feeling like I had life ending health issues and having that doom and gloom feeling like I was going to die ( literally ). I am on a as needed dose of just .05mg x2 per day. I am also on Escitalopram once daily. The Escitalopram really doesn't take away the panic and anxiety feeling. Taking the Xanax for the first time, after about 15 minutes I felt this wave of feeling like I had drank a hard alcohol drink, kind of like a foggy head, but it lasted only a minute and then I could feel a calming feeling. It kind of makes me feel sleepy and relaxed. Hopefully this medication with take away the horrifying feeling of doom and help me live a more normal life again. Got my fingers crossed.
