depression
"As a person who suffers from insomnia because I can't get my mind to leave me alone at night, xanax (alprazolam) is most effective. I can take 1mg at bedtime and experience the most restful sleep, waking the next morning calm, but alert and refreshed. I also experience anxiety and it seems that 1mg at night carries over to the next morning to help calm me. However, this drug is addictive and, if stopped without a Doctor's supervision, a person may suffer from withdrawals and it is possible that withdrawals could lead to seizures and/or stroke. STOPPING COLD TURKEY IS NOT ADVISED AND MAY LEAD TO DEATH. If you take xanax regularly, DO NOT STOP TAKING IT WITHOUT CONSULTING A PHYSICIAN regardless of where or how you get it."
