Anxiety
"I typically dislike and try to avoid taking medications whenever possible, but with a recent anxiety diagnosis, I was convinced to at least keep some of this on hand in case I need it.  I must say that I LOVE Xanax.  It really calms me down within about 20 minutes of taking it and helps me sleep almost irrespective of what is going on, but it doesn&#039;t leave a hangover effect the next morning.  I&#039;m currently in the phase of trying to find a more &quot;regular&quot; medication to control my anxiety/OCD (currently trying venlafaxine), as the Xanax isn&#039;t meant to be a daily thing. In the meantime, I&#039;m still using this when I feel I need it.  Ativan and Valium don&#039;t compare."
