Xanax is an absolutely wonderful drug!

Question

I can only speak for myself but Xanax is far & away THE most effective drug bar none I've ever used in regards to solving insomnia.  I've never liked pain meds even when I have pain (eg. Hydrocodone) or any other drugs (, anti-depressants, booze, etc.).  For the first time in a very L-O-N-G time  I can sleep more than 6 hours w/out waking. 

Does anyone else feel this way?

In a month you'll be hooked on it. Your body will need it. That is the point people are making. Then there is the coming off of it. That is a new nightmare all to itself. Hence you will find most people stir clear of it. The addictive nature of it.

To make absolutely clear - NEVER, repeat NEVER did I or will EVER advocate chronic long-term use of a naracotic controlled substance (eg. Xanax, etc.) Use of a natural herbal is an enirely different situatuion.

Talk to your doc about maybe switching to a low dose of Valium, or possibly something like Trazadone.
Trazadone is a A.D, but has strong sedative properities that may help you.

Do you suffer from anxiety all the time, or just something like "Learned insomnia" where you work yourself up before you go to sleep, because of your previous problem of falling to sleep?

Come back in 6 months time and see are you still saying the same thing.

It kind of scares me how excited you are about Xanax.
As long as you are taking it under your Dr.s rules and care.
But Xanax can become VERY addictive... mentally and physically.
So be cautious and careful.
