User Reviews for alprazolam oral

it's the only thing that works

..tried everything. MOST effective for anxiety

no real effect on anxiety

Help control my panic attacks

I'm on the .25 mg. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't, but it sure doesn't hurt to take one when I'm feeling really anxious. I only take it when I need it, not every day, as I heard it can be very addictive if taken daily.

My experience with this medication has help me more than any other treatment I have tried.

does help

It only helps when you can get the correct manufacture. I get a light green 1 mg and it seems to work very little. Why is that?????????

Great for anxiety....the relaxed feeling makes it easy to become dependent on the drug though, so be careful with that.

BEWARE! Very effective for anxiety disorder. Should you ever stop taking a benzodiazapine, the withdrawal symptoms, even with slow tapering, can be treacherous. I was unable to even function for many months.

Xanax is highly ADDICTIVE. If you have any history of addiction or even a proclivity toward addiction, Xanax can be a death sentence. You tolerance increases, it becomes less effective and you require more and more until it's hard to separate if your anxiety is real or if your anxiety is related to when you will take your next Xanax pill. Now how depressing is that? VERY depressing. It's a downhill spiral. The pharmaceuticals LIE about the addictive nature of this drug. Please beware.

Seems to have calming effect

This is a wonderful medication. I have been on it for 25 years off and on again. I have taken as much as 3mg daily, and as little as .5mg daily. I can sleep at night when I take it. Once when I had to take a brief break, my MD removed it all at once. I was so nauseous that the world moved too fast spinning on its axis. Now I taper off gradually. No nausea. It's not expensive. 90 1mg tabs generic without any insurance only costs about $14 monthly at my local pharmacy.

Attacks are less frequent. The ones I do have quickly subside after taking it.

I have been on Xanax--this time--going on 14 years and do not know what or how I would function without it. Of course, my tolerance has increased, therefore, my dosage has done the same but this medication works well for me. I am finishing up on 8/15/2014 my first round of a 7-week, 5 days per week radiation, in addition to 2-weeks on/2-weeks off, then 6 straight week-days of chemo (cisplatin & etoposide (VP16)for 3rd stage lung cancer. After this Friday, I have been told my body will get a month or more of time to recoup and restrengthen, which I am soooooo looking forward to and I said all that to say this, I could not have gotten through what all I have been through and stay sane without my anxiety medicine.

I take 4mg every night, and sleep a good 6 hours....without it, I can't sleep for days. I know it's habit forming, but I can't go without sleep. It IS THE only thing that works for my chronic insomnia.

I have high b/p. Dr. thought because of anxiety but took one lMG and slept for 24 hrs. right thru. Will not take this again.

works great on to relaxing mussels from broke neck so less pain a plessing
