This is my second day taking Xanax. I had a panic attack for the first time on the metro. I ended up having to get off and couldnt get back on that day. Yesterday i took the xanax and got on. It made me really sleepy so i wasnt to scared. I read how addictive it is and that to scares me. So how else do I cope? Also can I workout after taking it?

Give your body the time to adjust to the xanax and yes you can work out while on the drug

yea, you can workout, but be careful if you're doing exercises that require coordination because your motor skills are impaired when you take downers.

    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...
