My mom dad and grandma all take Xanax. I didn't know they took it, I thought they took a anti depressant like lexapro. So maybe it's kinda hereditary I don't really know. I have researched the drug and see the side effects. It's no worse then half the stuff Ive taken before.

I just hope this helps me out and gets my life back on track. My parents take .25 mg Xanax so I wonder why I get .5 mg?
I had a bad panic attack at the dr office yesterday. I was in the waiting room waiting for the dr to come in.

My leg was shaking uncontrollably, I was sweaty, it's was hard to breathe. He came in and actually saw how bad my panic attack was, that's why I think he gave me the Xanax. He said take 2 or so a day but take one before I lay down for bed as it will help me sleep.

I fell asleep on the couch last night lol, while watching tv. I never do that so the Xanax does help me sleep. Normally when I lay down my mind races and it keeps me up for hours.
