Xanax and panic attacks

ive been taking for 2 years im lightheaded all the time dry mouth and im more nervous and anxious when i take it. at first it was helping me.Now it just makes things worse and trying to stop it is hard.I'm trying to dose off of it now i was taking half of 1 mg a day then 1 mg a day now im trying to half the half and im just getting worse i wouldn't recommend taking alprazolam(zanax)yes it calms you down for a little bit bit in the long run its no good.Oh yeah have bad dreams on it(a side effect) and also wake up with racing feeling at night maybe 5 times a night.

Hi everyone,
I cannot live without xanax and its terrible, I have been on them for 5 months and have tried to stop them and its a nightmare. I suffer memory loss, have blackouts that I do not remember what I have said after a few drinks. It does help ease the social anxiety. But I have become moody, sleepy. . Does anyone else have these problems?

Xanax was the best thing that ever happened to me. It changed my life I feel normal again form suffering w/GAD and phobias. The side effects are minor and will subside if you are taking a reasonable dosage. I take 5mg only when i feel like i will have a panic attack. Its worth a try!
