"xanax is a miracle. just recently prescribed xanax and lexapro at age 33 for generalized anxiety disorder and i can honestly say that i am back to my old self. i have only had 2 panic attacks in the last 6 months. i can sleep all night without waking up, i am much more laid back, i am calm and not worrying all the time. i would definitely talk to your md about both of these medicines if you truly have an anxiety disorder.  both have been a life saver for me and my family."
