these sleep paralysis events started way back in the late 1970s and I just started taking xanax in the last year. Actually, my MT job is the reason I need them to relax at night. And I don't take sleeping pills...don't need them...rarely have a problem falling asleep. But the xanax does seem to help the muscle tension. Thank you, Dr Jan.

well, Xanax, of course
I cannot go on an outing with my mother or to a family gathering without being medicated/calmed. Also, I cannot go near a WalMart without it. Love my alprazolam -- 2 mg q. h.s. for sleep, 0.5 to 1 mg p.r.n.

She could definitely use a Xanax
I can't stand her emotional outburst. Entertainment value is right but it is just not ver valuable.

hey, Xanax...
Speaking of the word board, did ya see the one about a week ago where they were asking about "symphysis pubise" or some variation of symphysis pubis? I mean, c'mon now....ONE SINGLE Google HIT would have brought up the correct spelling, not to mention cracking open about ANY Stedman's or Dorland's.

I see posts like THAT on the word board, and just shudder at the thought of who might be transcribing MY medical reports (insert *lol* here, although it's more a giggle of disbelief than an outright laugh).

Kudos to you XanaX.....
I understand why you shook his hand, but I don't think I could have even done that. My heart does hurt for his children, they lost their mother and now their father (not that I didn't want him to go to prison), but they love their dad and believe in his innocence. I know they are better off without him, but I am guessing they don't seen it that way.

I had to start taking Xanax for PMS. sm
I always had some PMS but could handle it and treat it naturally. Now I am 40 and think I am perimenopausal and had similar symptoms to what you said above - unbearable. I started taking one xanax a day during my PMS week and one at night for sleep.

oh my God - you're my hero Xanax .
Way to go

XanaX, I'm with you. West Michigan here and -5 at 3:15 pm. nm

I meant to say didn't get the Xanax filled. nm
