I take 2mg xanax a day for about six months now, Just calms me down... say before I go for a long drive, or to an imporant meeting. before id feel like I was going to have a heart attack at the wheel, or pass outinfront of my employers.
I am sorry about your experience with this medication. For most, it is a good short acting benzo for the treatment of anxiety. Unfortunately, some people do have adverse reactions to certain medications. For example, if I take certain antihistamines, I have some really bad reactions. As always, stay in close consultation with your doctor regarding these symptoms and I hope you feel better!
That's strange. I was on Lexapro for a few weeks and by day 10 your description was how it made me feel. Totally wired out and anxious.... so I took xanex to calm me down. I'm on Zoloft now.
I sure hope you feel better soon.
i'm sorry your going through this. xanax should calm you down but all people are different. i would'nt take anymore of them if they make you feel this way. have you tried any other antianxiety meds, there are others your dr. can try ? maybe you should stay on the lexopro and see how that goes. usually starting a new antidepressant can make you feel a little (strange) the first few days but this should pass once your body gets used to it. take care. remar
