This New York Magazine article (linked below) is more than a year old, but I thought some of you might be interested in reading it. I found it interesting, as I consider whether I want to use Xanax, or not, to help me get through the anxiety I am currently dealing with.

I will refrain from commenting on the article, or expressing views about it, and instead just let you read it, if you are interested, and you can draw your own conclusions.

I wish each of you a calm and happy Sunday,

Medved

Thanks for posting MV.:)

I like that the do differentiate between acute (what they describe as paralyzing) anxiety and functional (normal/situational) worries.

This does need to be considered, as well as if other methods have been attempted when starting an Rx.

I do believe that medications are a wonderful tool...but one that should be used alongside therapy and self-help techniques.:)

Thanks again...I do hope that peopld give this a read. (cool graphics along with the article too.)
