Question

Been prescribed xanax to aid my depression. Heard it is awesome. So far it only makes me sleepy? Any ideas?

Answer 1

What time of day are you taking the Xanax?  My husband takes his an hour before he goes to bed.  That way he sleeps better and in turn feels better the following day.  Also, we found that it is important to take it at the same time everyday.  It makes a difference.  Sometimes it takes a couple weeks to start helping you like it should.  If this one does not work for you be sure to tell your doctor and try something else.  There are many kinds of antidepressants, it may take some trial and error to find the right one for you.

Answer 2

I had a friend that had that problem and her Dr. prescribed a lower dosage which helped.

Answer 3

I'm not a doctor, but i do not believe xanaz is a depression drug... i think it's more for anxiety...?
