How many of you are taking sedatives? It's just gotten to me that I might need some of these lovely thangs to get me some help with my anxiety. Anyone taking em care to describe their experiences a bit? :?:
I'm not taking them now, but when I did in May and June, it just took the anxiety away and made me feel normal. Several hours later, I would become ready for sleep.
I think that Xanax does not affect me anymore, and it's not that i became tolerated to it, because i don't take it too much, something like 0.5mg in 10 days.
Interesting. I would say xanax is stronger for me for sure. Klonopin has like a get you through the day calm. Xanax is like a wow I'm relaxed strong calm that works fast but doesn't stay too long. It's good for panic attacks. That's weird though moondust that xanax doesn't work for you now and you've only take 0.5mgs in 10 days. How much were you taking before these 10 days?
Depends on your anxiety. I'm currently taking both. I take Klonopin every day to get me through the day. And then if I feel a panic attack coming on I'll take a xanax and that helps me ride through that. I take xanax for emergencies only cuz it's so addictive and if you take it too much you build up a tolerance and then you have to keep taking more to get the same effect.
