In my case, yes.Situation: Anxiety which developed from severe stress into mild anxiety and then into moderate anxiety and then went into a condition of Pseudo Cushing's accompanied by severe anxiety and a number of physical symptoms.
Xanax XR saved my life. A minor dose (1 mg twice a day) was enough to keep the edge off to keep me from going completely nuts - and helped stem the tide of the super elevated levels of cortisol that my conditionwas causing. After a 2 week stay at NIH Hospital (where extensive testing was done - in December of 2005) they confirmed the Pseudo Cushing's diagnosis and recommended that my anti anxiety meds (Xanax XR) be significantly increased. On my return it was increased to 2 mg three times a day (around late January of 2006). Since then my condition has slowly but steadily continued to improve.
