It works for me. It takes your mind off the stressor short term. It makes me sleepy, so I like taking them a few hours before bedtime so that my anxious thoughts can't keep me up.

Xanax works by giving a boost to the natural tranquilizer GABA produced in your brain. If a person does not have enough GABA the Xanax helps increase its productivity. You may feel sleepy depending on your dosage. I now only take it on an as needed basis. Since I am in the small percentage of people who cannot take SSRIs or SNRIs this is the only group of medications for me. Follow your doctor's recommendations and do not stop taking it suddenly. You can eventually be weaned to a lower dose or can stop it altogether once you have gotten better. Stick with it and you will start to feel better in no time.

Yes it works great for me. Makes me relaxed and very comfortable. It's a potent medication that has been a life saver for me on many occasions. I wish I didn't have to take it, but I am glad that it is there for those anxiety attacks. I also just started an SSRI. Good luck to you and hope you feel better soon!
