With someone as young as you who has been suffering since your young teens, it would be best to see a Psychiatrist before starting this or any other medication ?

But I haven't found a doctor that will give it to me & both my mom & dad use it for their anxiety so I thought it may work for me..

Honestly if you are not taking it consider yourself fortunate that you are not dependent on it. It will take you over. I don't doubt your anxiety at all, but it is a bad drug to be hooked on!. See if you can try Buspar, and be careful of Doctors trying to put you on an Anti depressant!

An antidepressant may help, there are several that have been approved to treat anxiety, so they shouldn't be discounted off-hand.

What else have you tried for your anxiety?

Be careful. Xanax is nothing to play with. If both parents are on it you might want to try not being in the company of stressful folks as much as you can manage. It's made all the difference to me!

Try Buspar instead non addictive and generic any doctor will prescribe it easily. Has gotten my panic attacks down from 12 a month to 1 a month. Prevents them in the first place for me. But everyone is different. Good luck

So why is it legal for doctors to prescribe it 4 times a day if it helps

Because legal and medically advisable are two separate issues.These drugs were NEVER intended to be used for long term use.Im sure a doctor has explained the reasons why this drug isn't the answer for long term anxiety.

Most doctors are either oblivious or find it easier to just medicate their
Patients to keep them quiet and not have to actually PRACTICE the science of medicine.The scary thing is by the time you realize YOU TRULY NEED THESE DRUGS TO FUNCTION ITS ALREADT TOO LATE.withdrawing
From this drug is horrific.Such is the reason life long issues exist with the finding of and ways and means to get more at any cost.Most remain in denial
Until they seek professional treatment
and thru fact based evidence and a clearing mind they see the destruction this tiny little pill taken as prescribed by the local medical dealer OPSS I MEANT "DOCTOR" has on there being.I feel so much anger towards a community that effectively robs innocent and troubled folks of their humanity when prescribing these they create zombies and all bc anxiety was there only issue...I apologize but I've attended far to many folks in medical crisis bc of these substances and it's truly heartbreaking to see. Pro benzo
folks, bash away better me then those who can't handle the criticism ...

I was on xanax off and on for 13 years. It is so addicting and made my symptoms worse after a period of time. Detoxing was absolute hell!! I wouldn't recommend anyone taking it

That is the key Becky, discontinuing the drug is almost unbearable. Its easy to put it in your mouth and swallow and feel better 20 minutes later. It can be deadly trying to withdraw from this poison.

Re: EDDY (# 3) Expand Referenced Message

Buspar nearly sent me to the hospital and I am an adult who had been on anxiety meds for 8-10 years. After they yanked everyone's Xanax in my state, they put me first on Buspar and it made my heart beat so irregularly w/i 48 hours I had to call and get my mate to come pick me up as had to pull off the road-could not focus to drive. I know several who had similar experience including having hallucinations and spasms with Buspar, depending on dosage. Fortunately I am now on low dose valium and have been for nearly 2 years and it is working wonderfully.

What State yanked Xanax from everyone, are we speaking in the United States? Buspar is a strange medicine, gave me headaches. Trazadone has also been used helping those trying to stop a Benzo. Neither one will protect you from anxiety and/or withdrawal symptoms. Your driving episode sounds familiar, like a typical day in Los Angeles,. Oh and those hallucinations can be wild when stopping Xanax. I reread my comments you quoted, they seem fine, although you should never discontinue Xanax or any other Benzo unless directed by a Doctor
