Using Xanax

My mother was put on Xanax for chronic anxiety and a benign tremor in her hands. The odd part is, if she doesn't take it, her tremors are worse and she has withdrawals. Sometimes I wonder if her symptoms are now simply a result of the pill and maybe they don't actually exist anymore.  But I know the pill really saved her life when she was going through a rough time.

I have treated clients who have been on Xanax for a prolonged amount of time and find that their lives have changed for the better. They are less anxious people and find that they can enjoy life and their families more. They are also able to handle more easily unexpected problems that may arise. However, some do have concerns about one day getting off the medications and possibly having withdrawal symptoms.

For years I had terrible panic attacks.  At last I tried Xanax.  I have used this for many years.  The plus is that I can have a life without those terrible attacks. There have been not been negatives.  I have not increased the dose prescribed.  Yes, I was very reluctant to try medication.  However, after trying yoga, diets, etc., at last, I found something which allowed me to have a life!

ME TOO................IT CAKMS ME DOWN AND I DO NOT EVEN FEEL IT

I have used xanax sparingly for panic attacks,and bad menopausal symptoms. I think it can be a good drug used in moderation and only when really needed! I also think if used too often and too high doses can be addictive and dangerous.I am a registered nurse and have watched many people overuse and missuse xanax,and yes tremors are definetly a side effect that should be looked into. If she has taken the drug on a regular basis she needs to ween off the drug slowly instead of just stopping abruptly. Talk to her physician he can advise you.
