"xanax has really helped me relax. i have severe anxiety, depression and ptsd. i take seroquel xr and recently my doctor switched me from xanax to atarax. the atarax did not work at all. i have suffered from anxiety for years and the only thing that has been effective is xanax. i would recommend this to anyone who has moderate to severe anxiety. it does have a high addiction rate, so be extremely careful when taking this."
