Anxiety
"I was on Ativan (Lorazepam) for awhile but found it highly addicting. I switched to Xanax (alprazolam) and it&#039;s fast acting and settles your anxiousness, sense of panic, and has a calming effect. I take them as needed. But if I have had a long stretch of taking them, it&#039;s not difficult to lower the dose and take them as needed. Your body doesn&#039;t go into absolute fits or seizures (as Ativan does). I&#039;ll take this forever. It&#039;s helped me live more normally."
