i am so disappointed everyone seems to get on well with xanax tho it done nothing for me at all........i have decided i am at a turning point in my life where i demand to have my meds fixed.....doc and i tried something 6 weeks ago and it was ok till i crashed like a lump of lead....last week..... then i was partly deluisional. suicidal agrophobic and completely in my own sick world....

i think i am under medicated coz this anxiety terror is getting me real down....since we tried our experiment i am waking up nearly every hour throughout the night then up before the bloody birds are !!!!!

i have coped with this for twenty odd years and i think i am getting worse !

lots of you are on ativan i cant live without it.... completely addicted...my dosage is 2.5 mgs three times a day does anyone have a higher dose than that and the largactil is 25 mgs three times a day...plus anti depressants and hormoes on top of this

what is the strongest they can give us for panic and anxiety anyone know ??

Benzos are not the strongest medication. There are many different kinds of medications out there. Benzos are great and I use them, but in conjuntion with other meds. Athough for me, Ativan was too weak. I use Klonopin now, which has a much longer half-life and works by building up in the bloodstream, whereas xanax only stays in the bloodstream for approx. 6 hours max. unless you're using the XR. If you want to talk about medications feel free to email me. I can talk to you about several different medications I know about. I am not a Doctor but I am close to finishing nursing school and have done work within the psyc. community for many years.

Sorry, I just read that you are on antidepressants. You are right. You need to go and get your meds redone. I have never taken Xanax. I like the klonopin as I have tried it and it works for me.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
