"i have had severe panic attacks all my life. i don&#039;t even know how to explain what this makes you fell like, it&#039;s like you can&#039;t catch your breath, your hands start to go numb. my head goes numb. then i felt like i am going to pass out or am having a stroke. i have nothing but a positive experience with this medicine and i have tried other&#039;s. they didn&#039;t work. i have never had any side effects with xanax. so 1-10 its a 10, but take only as prescibed."
