I take 5 Xanex a day to control my severe anxiety, it helps allot, would recommend you try it. I take 2mg tablets, it takes a week or so to get over the drowsiness, but when you get past this, Its wonderful!

I've heard really good things about this med and how well it works for many people with bipolar. I'm really pleased you've found the right meds to help as what can work for one doesn't for another but it sounds like you've struck gold there :)

Yeah , but it doesnt do anything for my Bipolar, Im taking Celexa, adderral, and a new drug I just started taking Latuda 40 mg, but it takes like 3 weekd to get into your system, so well see, its supposed to make me happier, more willing to do things etc.

Hope all goes well. My pcp is going to start me on a new med today.... I think. I have started with celexa which I heard works great but it made me so nauseated and in return because I didn’t feel good it triggered more anxiety so I stopped taking it before I could start feeling the effects. Definitely need to find something and stick with it. I am so tired of worrying and worrying

I took Xanax 1mg twice at night for sleep but then I got immune to them and they weren’t working anymore. Then the doctor took me off all of a sudden and I had rebound insomnia and withdrawals from hell!!! Benzodiazepines are very addicting and are hard to come off. The doctor had no clue as to what the end results would do. I wanted to die!!! Literally !!! Then she prescribed temazepam for insomnia and it’s a benzodiazepine so I’m trying to wean off that. All drugs seem to have bad side effects. My problem is that I have to work and keep my brain together!!! The struggle is real. I take one day at a time. It’s just me. Ugg, I hate my life, I really do!!! Life was so much better when I didn’t have health issues. I never thought I’d be going through the crap that I’m dealing with!! I’m glad Xanax works for you. They worked for me but I needed more of them and doctors don’t want to prescribe them! Cracking down on these drugs, as though people needing them are profiled as drug abusers. And no doubt I was taking more than prescribed, that’s what happens. I need change in my life but at 59 yrs old I don’t know what to do. I hate my job, it’s physical demanding and I’ve been doing it for 8 years, cleaning!!!! I come home everyday hurting like hell and take half a oxy to relieve the pain. Oh yes I’m looking for other work but no luck. And not many skills. Any advice? If I could win the lottery it sure would help matters!!!! Thank you for your feedback. Keep in touch. Where are you located?
