Re: Xanax experiences?
My husband has been on Xanax for over 10 years for panic disorder. He has the same problems that you do. Not every day, but when something stressful happens or he's had a bad week, it's like his meds get out of whack and don't work like they normally would. His psych has given him a few extra pills a month for situations like this, but I wouldn't recommend taking more if you don't have to. He has struggled for years going up in dosage and then stuggling to get back down again. He even took a year off and stopped taking the meds. He was fine for that year....as long as he stayed home.  Needless to say Xanax has been a life saver for him but he wishes he would've never started taking it because it is horribly addictive. I have to agree with the above poster....it's good short term but I wouldn't recommend it for life time treatment. That is just my opinion after seeing what he has dealt with all of this time.
Good luck to you!!!
