I can't take my anxiety anymore & considering going to specialist to prescribe me this or something else to help. Gurls do some of y'all take it? Did it help you? How did it improve your life? Did u experience side effects or something negative?

Don't start.Especially if you're young.
I started taking it a few years ago,but then i voluntarily stopped!
It makes you numb and when you don't take it your anxiety will be worst than ever.
Go to a therapist and find out why you don't feel well!It will help you to cope with it!
Good Luck

It's had disastrous effects on my boyfriend. I wouldn't recommend.

numb? I don't wanna be numb, I want the opposite, yet I don't want the anxiety

details pls

For him, personally, it makes him very tired and lethargic and causes extremely bad depression and sweats. Was not a good fit for him at all and I am so glad he is off of it.

That's what it's for.You are not able to feel anxiety if you're stoned like that!
Try to work on it without pills first,it's difficult to stop once you start!

Xanax is not a solution to anything. I voluntarily stopped too.
It makes you fall into sleep more easy, but does nothing more.

I got referred to a psychiatrist just the other day and I need to set up an appointment still but I'm so worried I don't know what to say and am afraid they won't believe me

Don't start because when u do its hard to stop.
Go see someone

I wouldn't recommend them at all, you can work on your anxiety with therapy. That will actually help you resolve the issue. I was in therapy and it has helped me so much, I'm basically anxiety free now.

Don't be worried, they're professionals and they'll believe you and help you with your issues. But please remember that not every psychatrist 'has chemistry' with every patient. If you feel like your psychatrist doesn't understand you or you feel uncomfortable, don't be afraid to change immediately

Daamn I just went to look in our medicine box & randomly found them at home. Is this a sign? Should I just take them without prescription? What if I run out of them?

Some people take them recreationally...

I would say no to that.

I'll agree with those mentioning to see a counselor or psychologist, but that may need to accompanied with medication. That's something that'll come up then and you can discuss it with someone who knows the situation better. Exercise should also be thrown in the equation, if not currently.

It's such a specific to the person thing that I wouldn't say this one thing (meds, therapy, or exercise) will be the solution, but maybe try them all. There's plenty of anecdotal stories of success for all three out there.

Gorls I ain't visiting a psychologist...I ain't here for talking. I need a prompt solution. I have a new boyfriend & he's making me anxious by all the demands & expectations. I just need to be braver, lose my worries & insecurity. Alcohol would do as well but that **** makes u drunk. I want to be brave but sober.

I use it regularly but it really does nothing for me anymore. It use to relax me but now I'm immune to it, I guess.

I stole my mothers Xanax for a few months before I realized they did absolutely NOTHING for me

It helps me sleep - that's about it.

Gurl......
Get the hell out of the relationship! Unless there's something more than the guy, I don't think you have anxiety. Is he the only thing that makes you anxious?
