"i&#039;m 21 years old and this medication gave me my life back. i have social anxiety, hypochondria, and occasional panic attacks. i&#039;d immediately become stiff and uptight at all social events as well as at school. it got so bad that it affected my grades. after i take a xanax, the anxiety simply vanishes and it&#039;s replenished with relaxation, tranquility, and stability. all the scary, racing thoughts stop and i begin to think more logically and calmly. i take 0.5 mg five times a day as needed. xanax is also wonderful for muscle spasms."
