In reply to can xanax make you more anxious?, posted by raisinb on March 1, 2009, at 16:52:50

Hi,
The Xanax have a real short half-life, so what you are experienced is probably a withdraw problem...mean that your brains crave for another dose of Xanax... One advise, stay away of the Xanax...or maybe ask to be put on something with a more long half-life...The Valium is probably the best choice because you encounter less the craving and withdraw effect after a couple of hours... that's make it more easy to manage... Another thing, taking too much high dosage can also increase the anxiety and cause the reverse effect... I had severals bad experiences on the Rivotril...when I abused of it often...worsing my anxiety level...Well that's it...have a nice day !
