"i thank xanax for making me a better mom. i was mean to everyone around me and i took the motto &quot;this is who i am&quot; to heart. it was not until my mother died after having my third child that i actually realized my angry childhood and anger in this world was not to blame on any one but my own feelings. after taking xanax and some therapy, i am a new person. i would not be able to live without it. i do not abuse it. i only take the amount prescribed by my doctor and no more. i also take paxil which helped me a lot as well, but without the xanax, i would not be living. participating with my life and most of all my children. i read to them now we go on picnics and wilderness hikes. i love my life, now!"
