I've been on other medications and Xanax has worked the best and now I've been stable on it for about 1.5 years now and only had 2 real bad episodes when I first started to take it until it put it under control with xanax and no more 911 calls to be taken to ER. Prior to taking this medication Xanax I was having Attacks at least 2 to 3 times a week and having to call 911 with heart pounding and blood pressure up at 210-156-117 and several tests done to seek out heart issues and other medical issues..since being stable now on Xanax My most recent visit to doctor was I'm being taken off of it and since medication change of 1 less pill a day I'm having Attacks again next week there taking another away and I'm so upset that us who use our medications properly and No Drugs..Alchohol..or Abuse the medication are being treated un fairly due to the ones that sell it and drink and mix with other drugs and do other crap with it disgust me. They should draw people's blood before they prescribe them to confirm that the patient is and has been taking the medication as prescribed and it should show a level just as alcohol and other drugs.

I'm a 100% disabled Vet with PTSD and have constant anxiety, anxiety attacks, agoraphobia, and depression. No drug has worked as well for controlling anxiety, and preventing panic attacks. As mentioned in many other reviews, my psychiatrist wants to taper me off of it. I'm on 1mg, 3X daily.

As mentioned in many other reviews, my psychiatrist wants to taper me off of it. I'm on 1mg, 3X daily. It works great but due to the opiate crisis, and the FDA tightening, docs recently have become afraid to prescribe it. If a med has been working great for years, why mess with it? I highly recommend for someone suffering from severe anxiety/anxiety attacks.

After seeing all these positive reviews, I’m convinced I must just be super unlucky. About a year ago, I was prescribed .5mg Xanax 3/day for my frequent panic attacks. I only took it for two days and had to stop because within an hour of each dose I was having extreme panic attacks. I was not on any illicit drugs, alcohol, caffeine, vitamins, or supplements at the time. Just Paxil and I think ... Show Full Comment

I only took it for two days and had to stop because within an hour of each dose I was having extreme panic attacks. I was not on any illicit drugs, alcohol, caffeine, vitamins, or supplements at the time. Just Paxil and I think some Seroquel. I don’t know why this happened and neither did my doctor, or any doctors since. All I know is that I’m never taking it again. I’ve since tried Klonopin (a longer acting benzo) with much better luck, but my medications are also radically different from that time. If anyone possibly knows why this happened, I’d love to hear what you have to say!

I have been on this medication for about 23 years on and off. I only take when absolutely required. Unfortunately now it is extremely difficult to obtain. I used to get the prescription from my GP but now I have to see a pyschiatrist who when called for an authorisation on the script was only allowed to prescribe 30 tablets without any repeats. She also prescribed another med that works similar to Xanax but so far l don't agree. Unfortunatley it was been put on the schedule 8 drugs which is considered a poison. People like myself who only take when l have a panic attack have been categorised as dependent and almost ignored. I wouldn't be alive today if l didn't have access to this drug and l have never been addicted to it as I have a measured dose which I take. It goes to show that the ICE addicts have not only ruined the reputation of this drug but have also removed its accessibility for all of us.
