Anxiety
"I&#039;ve had severe anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, and agoraphobia for 13 years. I was on Valium, 10mg twice a day. I&#039;ve tried Ativan and Klonopin too. Xanax is the only one that actually helps me feel normal. Within 15 minutes of taking it, I can begin to feel it start calming me down. This is excellent when you&#039;re facing a panic attack. No side effects, other than sleepiness.  I can actually get out of the house when I take these. Having agoraphobia is no fun at all. Whenever I want to go somewhere, I will take my Xanax around 30 minutes prior to leaving.  If you suffer from anxiety, or any of the things mentioned, this med will help you out tremendously!"
