Hey everyone,

Just curious about people's "day after" taking Xanax experiences. Occasionally I will take it at night if I'm having a nervy day and go to bed early.

Often the next couple of days I will just feel GREAT! Clear head. No anxiety.

Anyone else have this? I'm just curious if Xanax has a way of soothing the nerves for quite a while after taking it.

I also wonder if this happens to me because I don't take it very often.

Thanks!

yes its because you dont take it often. your body will develop a tolerance if you take it daily and often. use it wisely and its a miricle drug. abuse it and looses its effectiveness

PD i think everyone is different, it effected me much like it does you, i took it a little more often than you do but same effect, been a long time ago, the last three years i have been using benadryl at bed time works well, Peace

Hi

I have never taken this med but know a lot of members do and have had great success with it so I am pleased to hear it is working well for you.

Hello-

I do take this med and often feel like how you describe. However, I think it has more to do with the fact that I am getting a very good night sleep and my body is getting the rest it needs and hasn't been getting because of the anxiety.

I've had that feeling with Ativan. It gives my body a day off from all of the tense feelings in my body. I can have a day or 2 feeling better after that day off.

I agree with HoldOn.

I agree with you guys, too. It's refreshing to have a day or two away from nerves on edge. It almost brings a tear to my eyes. Saturday I thought, "geez this is how I used to feel all the time years ago.....and how people without this always get to feel".

Oh well. I guess challenges like anxiety make us stronger people.
