Anxiety
"I have gone on and off Xanax for a few years now and all I can say is that it WORKS! I take 0.5-1 mg as needed. It kicks in pretty quickly and it&#039;s the only med I&#039;ve tried that can stop a severe panic attack in its tracks. It has helped me regain control of my life and think clearly in stressful situations. I don&#039;t get drowsy or feel impaired as long as I don&#039;t take more than my dose. Works better for me than Ativan and clonazepam. Make sure you properly taper off this med if you take it for more than a few weeks- I tried to stop cold turkey once and it felt awful."
