"this drug literally saved my life. before i started taking it, there was no quality of life left. i would get so nervous around people i couldn&#039;t go out into public at all, had severe panic attacks all of the time... i&#039;ve dealt with this my entire life, and it took me 17 years being put on every anti depressant/mood stabilizer/even anti psych meds except anti anxiety meds (because doctors are too afraid to prescribe them...we have a lot of junkies here) i finally found a doctor who understands me. i take 1mg xanax 3 times a day and 1,200 mg of lithium a day. this medication has changed my life. i no longer struggle with my life, i feel like for the first time i have total control and it feels great."
