depression
"I have taken Xanax for many years at a safe daily dose. I started in 2004 with 0.25 mg three times daily,  having severe anxiety attacks while my dad was losing his battle with cancer.  As the years progressed and I realized I have a big social anxiety issue, I stayed on Xanax. I couldn't function socially without it. Last year I was diagnosed with menieres disease which causes daily vertigo spells and constant roaring in my ear. My doctor increased my Xanax to .5 mg three times daily, as it helps with these symptoms.  Not long ago I was diagnosed with clinical depression.   I was put on Celexa but am hating the side effects. I took myself off Zoloft twice in the past because of the side effects.  Xanax has truly been a life saver for me"
