> > Sorry Tina,
> > I didn't mean to freak you out. It's not that the Xanax isn't working, it's that I'm having to take it a lot more often and I'm really concerned about its addictive nature. I think I told you that I went thru detox to kick pain medication not too long ago and I really don't want to have to do that again. I think mentally that would no doubt push me over the edge. I feel bad that I've worried you. You have such a high tolerance to meds that I thought it might work well for you because it is so strong. I hope I didn't influence you into doing something you weren't comfortable with. That certainly wasn't my intention.

> Greg- You didn't really freak me out, I was just trying to be funny, in my obviously feeble way. If Xanax doesn't work for me I'll just try something else. This site has offered me hope, something I have never had before. I'm sorry if I heaped one more worry on your back, I didn't mean to. Please don't worry about me doing any freaking out I'm fine. I'll get through it--whatever IT is. Thanks for the concern, Love ya--Tina

> > > Greg--I asked my doc to switch me to Xanax on your info to me. Do you think this might happen to me too?? You're freaking me out. I'm sorry you're having a bad time of it--you've been so helpful to me and I feel so useless to you. The Xanax isn't working for me either unless I take it regularly and even then I still have the attacks at night. Just wanted you to know I'm in your corner and will be watching for any advice too. Hugs and peaceful days---Tina

> > > > I currently take Xanax for anxiety and panic, it's been a life saver for me, until recently. It seems like if its not in my system constantly, I'm having attacks. Its been like this for the last 3-4 days. I've tried to ignore it, but today the symptoms are so intense that I can't. My heart feels like its about to burst out of my chest. I have had my heart completely checked out and it was fine. The bad thing about taking the Xanax here at work is that it makes me real tired and I find it hard to perform my job.
