anxiety
"I've been on Xanax for a little over a year and it really helps with my anxiety and depression. However, I tried to stop taking it cold turkey a few months back. . .bad idea. I had the most horrifying withdrawals ever. I thought I was going to die. So now I'm back on it, but I've developed a tolerance and an addiction, which scares me. As with most of the other reviews, I agree that it is a great drug when taken correctly. Just don't ever suddenly stop taking it. Taper off slowly."
