Questions with xanax?

Question

i have been taking xanax for 3 days now and i really only want to take it when i absolutely need it. but i seem to twitch or get very shakey if i dont take it everyday. right now, i feel like im kinda light headed and at night i wake up in a panic and shake if i havent taken it. what should i do... should i take it even though im not having panic attacks and just have a tight chest... or should i just take it when ever i get shakey? i thought xanax was only suppose to help you when you couldnt help yourself during a panic attack?

Answer 1

you can experience side effects in the beginning,  with continued use, they should go away.  it is not to be suddenly stopped, because then you can have withdrawals.  it is used for other stuff as well.  take it as prescribed.  if you want to stop, follow the doctor's instructions on how to do so.  it is very addictive.  decide now if it is for you or not.  your doctor can always give you something different.  good luck!

Answer 2

Here's a technique that I learnt to help me get through my panic attacks quickly...

I simply repeat the words 'cream cake' over and over in my head as quickly as I can without stopping.    You could use any word or words you like really but that's what I chose (because I like cream cakes).  It apparently works because it doesn't give your brain time to process the panicky thoughts and so helps you to relax again.  Seems strange I know ... but it works for me!

There's also a free ebook that I found really useful called 'Get Rid of Panic and Anxiety for Good'. If you want to take a look you can find it at: http://curepanicattacks.premiergold.info...    Even though I got it for free it has helped me absolutely loads!
