Advice & Tips
this medication controlls my anxiety and panic attacks. Without it I have shortness of breath, severe sweating, shaking, and my blood pressure goes through the roof. This is a must have medication for me, and because it is addictive I only take it when I have a full blown anxiety and panic attack. Since July 2009 I have taken 30 0.5 mg.

Advice & Tips
Worsened Depression symptoms after Daily use for 2 months, Cognitive Impairment, mild Inhibition of Recognition of Passage of Time, overall, Xanax was quite helpful, the benefits far outweighed the negatives. It is most helpful for less than 4 weeks of use, after use for multiple months, It starts to cause significantly more negative side effects, and generally worsens all symptoms. Short term use is much more beneficial.
