"i&#039;ve had big problems with both depression and anxiety, and i&#039;ve tried most of the benzodiazepines that are available (diazepam, clonazepam, flunitrazepam, nitrazepam, oxazepam, and so on), and also a couple of different antidepressants. ssri&#039;s and mirtazapine(brand name &quot;remeron&quot;). and after trying all of these different medications, i didn&#039;t think i ever could get rid of the depression and anxiety and live a normal life (which in turn made me even more depressed), but then in comes xanax! and it didn&#039;t take long before i was almost entirely free from both the depression and the anxiety, which had had such a strong grip on my life for such a long time and almost ruined my life! i really feel like i owe my life to the wonderful alprazolam!"
