"xanax has probably helped keep me alive and breathing over the last two years.  the toll of being a military wife, mom, full-time worker, etc. had me so stressed out that i began to procrastinate on everything because i couldn&#039;t emotionally handle things like paying bills, running errands, etc.  i only take 0.5mg of xanax as needed, but just knowing it&#039;s in my purse helps me keep my busy life moving ahead.  combined with zoloft for depression and ambien for insomnia, i finally feel like a normal person.  i feel sorry for the woman i used to be, but i&#039;m so happy to be myself now."
