[quote=Anonymous]Xanex was a life saver for me years ago during a terrible work situation with a bat crazy bordering on sociopathic supervisor. I also had other stressors going on including an ill parent. I took it during acute stress only like having to meet with psycho supervisor. It took an awful/miserable situation and just put it farther away. I could step back and think "yeah, this sucks" without needing to sob hysterically and become paralyzed with panic.

I can see how it would addictive. Once I finally left that job, I rarely used it. I think I took it the first day of a new job and when major crisis hit (family member in hospital, huge tree branch fell on our home), but 99% of the time I didn't need it. I could cope. Plus, I actually recalled the feeling of being on xanex. So when a stressor hit that might have upset me before I could imagine the feeling of being on xanex and deal usually.

Now if you are not dealing with some major life changing stressors and this is just your day to day state, I would look into a long term anti-anxiety med, rather than a fast acting and potentially addictive drug.[/quote]
