Just started Xanax...anyone have experiences to share?

@margot69. What was it about Valium that made you not want to take it? You are right, what works for one person may not work for another. I wish I could be confident I could control my Xanax intake like you seem to be doing. Right now I am only allowing myself one pill a day even though my prescription allows for two. It just seems to work like nothing else.

I took it years ago as they used to prescribe it a lot then. I felt like a zombie and I was working then. I only took it as needed for anxiety. I seldom hear anyone mention they take it. Are you taking a whole pill at a time of the Xanax or splitting it? I used to take 1/2 and if I still felt anxious after about an hour, I took the other half. If possible, I would rather take less of a med but I am very sensitive to medications. Just make sure your doctor knows how you are using the med. I used to keep a record of what I took when and why. Helps you and your doctor see what is going in. May help to see what is triggering the anxiety. Try the breathing. It was prescribed for a reason so, if you need it, use it.
