> I started to have panic attacks 1 year ago. I have been on a couple of different medicines. I was put on Zoloft, which did not work for me at all! Every time they raised my doseage, the attacks got worse. I found a great doctor who took me off from the Zoloft and let me tell you, the withdrawl symptoms were horrible. I wanted to go to the emergency all the time! Anyways, I then got put on Effexor. That did not really work for me, either. Although, I am still on 150mg of it. My doctor also put me Klonopin. So, I was on both medicines. When Xanan XR came out, my doctor took me off the Klonopin and put me on the Xanax. So, I take two pills a day, (1mg), every 12 hours. I also take the 150mg of Effexor.
I have been on the Xanax XR for a little over a month now, and I have only had 2 panic attacks. I think this is the best medicine I have ever been on. The only side effect I get from the medicine is that I am very, very sleepy all the time. I sometimes feel a little disoriented. Anyways, if you are not on Xanax XR yet, talk to your doctor about it because it could work wonders!
