1. Sh!t that stuff is bad for me.

When they say tranquilizer, they forgot to capitalize the TRANQUIL. Somebody could walk up and threaten to kill everything I love dear, and I'd say, "Oh. Okay. Can I help?" Seriously. I take it for flying (didn't use to have to, now the very idea of being airborne is evil) and every time I take it, I think I'm gonna give away the farm to the psychopathic seatmate that is generally a given on any flight I take.

Anyway, it sounds like you enjoy it more than I do, so I'll stop being a party pooper. :-)

4. Xanax. There's an idea. There have been too many "tricks" today and not enough "treats."

14. Hey sweets!

The second one did the trick - got an extra hour of sleep this morning, not that I was SUPPOSED to. :hi:

7. Oh yes, I used to take Xanax when I was plagued by anxiety.

Great drug. When I finally get my nerve up to fly, I will be sure to ask for it again. :hi:

8. And everything is OK with the world....

I was on it for 4 months once...after a divorce...everything seemed "OK".
Whew....I seen people who have been on this for a significant period of time and then suddenly... stop. Yikes...not good. Talk about a meltdown.

9. I find it very helpful to listen to "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight,"

by ARS, when something is really bothering me.

10. I occasionally take

1/2 of one 2mg tablet if I am having
trouble sleeping. My Dr has me prescribed
for 3 a day. If I took that many, I would
be in a coma or a zombie.

13. 2mg! Mine are 0.25 mg and one usually acts like an anvil dropped from a great height...

:boring:

Last night I had to take a second one and that did the trick - I overslept an hour this morning :eyes:

11. That is some good stuff

Edited on Thu Nov-01-07 08:31 AM by underpants

I have a recovering agoraphobic connection and I had no idea the wonders that one pill could do. WOW.

ON EDIT- it's what keeps the PGA humming along (no testing there you know)

12. I was on the X for more than 2 years (warning)

be careful when it's time to come off of it. I will never take that evil stuff again.

..speaking of zombies, that's what I was on the stuff

17. The only time I take it

is if I wake up in the middle of the night and have a panic attack. It calms me down enough to go back to sleep.

15. .25mg of Xanax and I don't care about anything.

Kick my dog, burn down my house, I don't care. I just basically become one of the living dead.

20. I'm not gettin' the folks saying it knocks 'em out, etc.

I take it just to keep away panic attacks. There're no "fun" effects. :shrug:

But then, I take a really low dose — 1/8 mg. at a time, or 1/4 at most. If I take half a milligram in a day, it's been a really stressful day.

21. Take 1 tablet (.5 milligram) every weekday

And lay off them on weekends. Usually, depending on the level of stress. Need to have one for my work day, sad to say. But I'm able to handle the pressure and keep focused on my work (except when I log on here, lol).
