xanax?

can someone amswer this question? I have taken xanax in the past to help relieve the side efects of going onto zoloft. I am once again going on zoloft & my anxiety has hit the roof. What is bizzare is that in the past whenever I took the xanax >25mgs it would simply bring my anxiety down to almost nothing. In the last two days when I took it it made me feel SOOOO sleepy & loopy that all I could do is lay down & sleep for awhile. Has anyone had it affect them so differantly & it still being the same dosage? Should I not take it & ask for something else now?

Re: xanax?

I would not recommend Xanax at all because it's VERY addictive...there are so many other drugs out there to help you....don't take anything addictive...Xanax is so dangerous...................

Re: xanax?

Your anxiety should not get worse on zoloft. If it does you need to try a different medication.

Xanax is extremely addictive.

Re: xanax?

Are you sure that you are taking 25 mg? That is a heck of a lot. They come in .5 1 2 bars, but I have never known anyone to start out on 25

there looks to be a typo. the (.) and (>) are on the same key. it looks to me as if the dosage could be .25mg
