"i have severe social anxiety and have tried every other medicine out there and nothing has worked. xanax so far has changed my life. i&#039;m able to talk to people and look them in the eye and not feel stupid every where i went. i take .5mg 3 times a day. i&#039;m just worried about the addiction part. i&#039;ve heard it&#039;s pretty bad. but i rather be happy all the time than having panic attacks all the time."
