Depression
"If I could rate Xanax higher I would, this is without a doubt the most effective medication I&#039;ve ever taken for anxiety, and fast acting. I&#039;ve always dealt with the public speaking anxiety since high school. I&#039;m 29, healthy and active and have never been depressed so that&#039;s why I&#039;ve been reluctant about SSRI&#039;s. My GP prescribed Celxa, went up to 20mg and it was a nightmare, had panic attacks and very vivid intrusive thoughts. My GP switched to lexapro @10mg and I still get panic attacks. If I get a panic attack I take a .50mg of Xanax and it takes like 15 min to kick in and I feel great - I hate SSRI&#039;s and wish Xanax was a daily med."
