"my doctor tried me on a few anti anxiety meds prior to xanax. i wish it didn&#039;t take so long because nothing helps me better than this.  not only has it improved my life positively (when i&#039;m taking it) but it helps with a variety of stresses - we are only human and i believe no matter how pure your life is sometimes you just need a xanax. it can be addictive so i do not recommend taking it daily or in large doses."
