panic disorde
"This medication has been a wonderful aid to help me get my life back! I suffer from panic attacks, as well a depression, and it had gotten to the point that I was fearful of everything. Then 3 years ago my doctor put me on Xanax. Of course it isn't the medicine alone that has made the difference. I have also treated my depression and started therapy. Everything together has helped me actually enjoy life! Xanax isn't the right medication for everyone. It is quick acting which makes it great for panic attacks but also has a very short half life, which makes it not always as ideal for generalized anxiety. There is the risk for dependency, but as long as you take it as prescribed and stay honest with your doctor, the risk is very low."
