Xanax


19 years ago 0 189 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I was taking Xanax for about 2 months and it did nothing for me. For the first couple of weeks it felt like I was in a cloud floating. I also sleep way more, about 6 hours during the day and 10-12 hours at night. After about 2 weeks those syptoms went away. I found that with Xanax and any other drug that I have taken the doctor always says give it time, give it time. I knew it wasn't working but he wouldn't allow me to go off the drug. I also try and do research about the drugs.

I had a Rx for xanax once and while it helped relieve anxiety I didn't like the side-effects. It made me see double. I couldn't focus on anything...read, watch TV, use the computer, nada. Isil'zha veni

Hi Visionary, I had taken Xanax before switching to Klonopin. I found it very helpful in keeping the "ghosts" away, but after a few tests, it was wreaking havoc with my liver. I surely didn't want back-fire, so they switched me. BTW....my dose was .5 as needed, not to exceed four per day (24 hours). Nan252

Yestrday was the first time I take Xanax. I take it before I sleep. I think my dosage is 0.25 or something.

I am on alprozalam which is the ingredient in Xanax. It has helped my anxiety. I haven't noticed any side effects but am on several medications so it would be hard to know which one was causing them if I did. I am on a fairly low dosage. I understand it can be habit-forming at high dosages.

I was just taken off my medications and given a form of Xanax. Has anyone out there been on this medication? Any comments, good or bad?
