But there are times when the negative wheels start rolling faster than I can control them. When I start feeling in a downward spiral and my depression and anxiety are taking me to the dark side I take some Xanax and usually within a short while I'm feeling better. It's amazing really. I just wanted to share this info, since it helps me, maybe it can help others cope when things get narley. I've never relied on any drug before in my life before T, but things have changed. Habituation means doing whatever it takes to make progress. I know this ain't for everybody but from my personal experience it's helped me.

There's always going to be some nut bag who swears it will runin your life but if you just follow the doctors orders you will be OK. I've been taking drugs for years with no negative effect.

Please don't let anyone try to convince you that Xanax is evil and you should stop taking it. Stay in touch with your doctor and take it from there.

They knock me out for sleep if I take the whole 1 mg. If I'm feeling really anxious or miserable during the day I'll take half. It seems to help with my depression bouts too. So it's good all around for me. It really helps calm me down.

I tough it out until the evening to take the next pill. It definitely makes my volume go down. I was taking .5 a day and could have used more but I am using the absolute minimum possible of the drugs. Last Edited By: ZooKeeper 06/17/12 7:30 PM. Edited 1 times.

I seem to hear multiple noises, the super high pitch tone is the one that gets me. For now, this helps get me through my mornings and helps me sleep. The combo for now will put me down hard and fast so be careful. Of course I am sensitive to antihistamines... FYI I am also on 10mg lexapro taken every morning. Good luck, let me know how it turns out.
