Hi. Im taking Xanax. I take 10 mil grams twice daily. I think it helps alittle but i still have panic attacks. And if i take it during the day it makes me tired. But it may help u and depends on what mill. your on.

I have taken xanax for panic attacks. It takes the edge off so I can get control better. I think you need to help yourself calm down along with the medication.

Yeah Xanax works well for me at least. I got it when I went to the ER for a panic attack, it had the chest pains I had for two weeks go away in one day. So bravo for xanax. Downside I here its very addicting and I don't want to be hooked on a pill forever. Cause when I "think" its getting bad or worse I take a xanax. I am on 25mg. Once daily or up to 1mg as needed.

i personally did not like xanax it took the edge off but once it wore off i was worse off and even woke up to what i think was seizure not sure but will never take that med again. Plus it is higly addicting

xanax worked for me as a temp fix. klonipin is more time released and needs to build in ur system to work fully (but it is far less addictive.

I have taken all sorts of medications, and the Xanax is the only one that has worked for me, I know take half a tab as needed at night only. I can't handle its side effects ona daily basis (makes me too tired). Also, it made my grandmother better. She took it for the last 5 years of her life and it was the only thing that quelled her anxiety attacks also. YAY XANAX!

I am taking Xanax also and I take 10mg thee times a day. I was taking five, but the doctor had to up my medicine a few months ago. I guess my system got use to it after a long period of the time. I don't have full blown panic attacks like I use to. I use to have 4 or f a day and they were full blown attacks. Now, I might have small attacks, but not every day. The thing is I can deal with the small attacks, but when the full blown ones come, I totally lose it. My expeience with Xanax was helpful fo me and is still continuing to do so.

Hi, I've been taking Xanax PRN for many years. But I really only take it at night because it kind of knocks me out. So if I'm feeling anxious at night, I take it and I sleep very well. I have found that Klonipin works a lot better for me during the day. It will help stave off a panic attack. Or if I am going somewhere that I know could set one off, I take it as a precaution.

Xanax is the only medication that has helped me in the past. I am out of xanax right now. The last pill I took was in September (I think). Anyway the ones I still have in the bottle are past the expiration date. I am now feeling a bit more anxious because of the deaths of two three people I knew (all within the last month). That always seems to set me back. My doctor prescribed Librium about 2 months ago. From past experience, they have nevver really worked like xanax. Valium helped a little too. If I the medication just takes the edge off and I get control, I usually do okay for a long time,however,losing a lot of friends has put me under a lot of stress.

I've taken Xanax before, but very hesitant of using it due to the high addiction rate. When I did try it, I used it only at night right before bed, where I've experience most of my attacks. It worked and help me relax and goes to sleep.

Xanax helps me for acute needs when I'm having a panic attack, and I took it as needed up to 3 times a day. It did not help to prevent panic attacks though.
One problem I had was that I liked how I felt with it in my system and I abused the medication. I was taken off Xanax and put on Ativan because of it
Advise: do not abuse the medication, only use as directed!
