"i feel like xanax saved me. i had a very rough childhood with my father addicted to drugs, lost our house, had to raise my sisters because my mom had to get a full time job. i was going down a very bumpy road. i finally settled down with my now soon to be husband, and with the persuasion of him and my father (now sober, and also has anxiety) at age 18 i finally broke down and decided to go talk to a doctor. he prescribed me to multiple anti-depressants that made everything worse. he then put me on xanax, i&#039;ve never been so stress free. i have held down the same job, i&#039;m doing well in school and again, and maintained a healthy relationship. i&#039;m a changed person at 21 years old."
