I was prescribed Xanax yesterday for panic attacks. I have seen many people in treatment centers and rehabs for all sorts of chemical addictions. Xanax use seems to be among some of the drugs heard in their "war stories" as wonderful due to the high they get from using it. I took my first dose yesterday and was so tired I could barely crawl myself into bed. Is this the normal effect from Xanax? Does it continue if it is used on an "as needed" basis? I can't figure out what could be so wonderful about the drowsiness as a "high"?
