"i started taking xanax .25 mg for generalized anxiety over the past few days and it has helped me feel relaxed, less worried and happy also hasn&#039;t affected me with any crazy side effects. (which i was afraid of happening) i was so scared to take them but my anxiety was getting out of control so i figured i would give it a try and see how my body handles it. i&#039;m going to continue taking one a day since it seems to be helping a lot. i don&#039;t worry and i feel calm, the pill does wear off after a few hrs and takes about 20-30 mins to kick in but my dr says it&#039;s safe to take another one as needed. i&#039;m also doing counseling too and it is very helpful as well. definitely recommend this for anxiety!"
