Anxiety
"I have bipolar 1, GAD &amp; PTSD. I can&#039;t rage antidepressants (even on mood stabilizers) because of the bipolar disorder and buspirone proved useless for me. Xanax has really helped me keep my anxiety under control. I don&#039;t get the sedating effects that most people seem to. I&#039;ve been on the same dose for over five years. When my mother passed away, I was also on ativan PRN for a short period of time and sometimes I wish I still had that, too. Not for everyday use, just for extremely triggering events."
