Default Xanax - How does it help with anxiety? - 12-24-2008, 04:06 PM

My doctor just prescribed some Xanax for me due to the fact that my 3 year old daughter was recently molested. I haven't ever taken anything like this and was wondering what to expect. Will it make me sleepy? Should I take it before bed or in the a.m.? Is it addictive? Thanks!

Xanax produces a calming effect. It will make you sleepy. It really depends on how high of a dose you were prescribed. I take it at night in order to wind down to go to sleep. I also take it for anxiety. I take .5mg for anxiety and 1 mg for sleep. It is addictive in that your body gets used to it, and you will continually have to increase the dose. So, the important thing is to take it only as needed. Good luck.

its a sedative - a cousin of valuim. yes it's addictive, but helpful when taken as prescribed. it could make you sleepy. A friend of mine can take a half of .5mg and pass out - I take 1mg to help with sleep...take with caution until you know how you will react.
