For the first time since the panic attacks and ptsd started I was able to relax. I took Xanax as prescribed every four hours and It worked in calming me down but also made me severely tired.

I'm on the lowest dose possible for Xanax and only take it 1/2 of a pill as needed. Which is usually about once a month. On months where my PMS symptoms are severe I may have to take a whole one at least twice that month but as long as I'm taking my regular antidepressants/anxiety meds then I'm usually ok with just half when needed. I was worried that I would become addicted Because of all the stories I've heard surrounding this drug but honestly it just makes me sleepy when I take a whole one and a half dose is perfect so my worry was for nothing. I love this medication and definitely recommend it as it has helped me tremendously with my anxiety and panic attacks.

I've been taking the lowest dose of Xanax since 1997. It has helped me survive many days and years of life with horrible anxiety. I still have my issues, but everything is worse without this med. I try to work with myself as well. I have limits.
