Re: Anyone take xanax?       06/16/03 03:35 PM Edit Reply Quote BL Reged: 06/01/03 Posts: 3522 Be careful taking xanax. Your body can become dependent on it---if you do not take it under the watchful eye of a competent doctor. If you take it regularly and you just stop, your anxiety will be worse (what they call "rebound anxiety.") It is a lifesaver taken in small doses on a short-term basis (like when you are waiting for an anti-depressant to start working), but you cannot just stop taking it. You must have a doctor that will help you slowly wean off of it. Don't ever abuse it or you will be in trouble! I have several friends whose family members ended up in a drug rehab program after taking high dosages of it and becoming addicted to it. If you are having panic attacks on a regular basis, you might want to try Zoloft. It will help, but you have to be patient. Like most of the new anti-depressants, it may take a month or two before you notice any results. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
