that medicine is okay for anxiety some people do have side effects but that goes along with all medicines. if you are not sure about taking it tell your doctor and they can try something else but you may still have side effects. there are some otc sleeping aids you could try with less side effects but i don't know how bad your anxiety is. you would just have to try and see. and if you just do that many a month you may be okay. but you need to talk to your doctor. hope you find the right thing and get better.
xanax: side effects and usage question? . my doctor prescribed xanax to me to help me sleep better if my anxiety gets bad. i have two questions:. 1. how serious are the side effects? a lot of my anxiety comes from my emetophobia [the fear of vomiting] so i'm not sure how i feel about the nausea side effect. . 2. my doctor prescribed it saying "use as needed. " but i read online that if you stop taking it you could experience seizures/withdrawal symptoms. if i take it let's say twice a month would i still experience these symptoms?
