"xanax saved me. apprehensive about taking meds but broke down after it got so bad i didn&#039;t even want to take the covers off my head with my eyes clenched shut just fearing every day because i knew anxiety, fear of everything under the sun and panic attacks would rule my day. i was told i needed to be on long term anxiety drugs so i tried lexapro and ended up in the er with side effects so horrific i don&#039;t even want to think of it now. xanax is basically a quick fix to calm the anxiety but it&#039;s the only thing i&#039;m willing to take and over time i broke out of the nightmare i was living. i still have bouts of anxiety but as long as i have xanax on hand i know i&#039;ll be ok. i never had any bad side effects except for being tired. trade is worth it"
