Re: I'M AFRAID TO TAKE THE XANAX

Chris - I take Xanax .25 mg "as needed" for anxiety. I must say, though, that I am not sensitive to meds. Anyway, I find it helps when I'm very anxious, it calms me down and makes me sleepy. I'm not quite sure why you were on Prozac for anxiety - my understanding is it is primarily an anti-depressant that has been known to cause anxiety, being "hyper", violence, etc. (in addition to possible suicidal depression). Xanax, to my understanding, is much more of an anti-anxiety agent, and I would certainly encourage you to try it. If you are still hesitant, you can try half a pill - I take 1/2 to 2 pills depending on how anxious I am and how willing I am to be drowsy. Hope this helps.
