Anxiety
"I just started using alprazolam for 3 weeks. From my mid teens years I have had nervous stomach symptoms which lead to multiple bowel movements a day, including sweating and numbing hands. Uncontrolled shaking of my feet or tapping on surfaces with hands. Because very little was know; my teachers would make me sit on my hands to control my twitches. I%u2019m now 50 years old, married for 25 years and still having panic disorders till this medication was started. Flying, small confided areas, in tight areas with many people, lack of bathrooms and just not being in control of my environment, would trigger an attack. I was embarrassed and covered my symptoms.  0.25mg of Alprazolam has helped me concentrate and control my racing thoughts. I feel in control and at peace in the most stressful situations. I thought not using it on the weekends would be okay, NOT SO, heart rate, numbing hands, trembling muscles and waking up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts were the outcome.  You%u2019re never too old to start this medication given your doctors approval."
