I was wondering if anyone has used Xanax for anxiety and stress. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and not sure what will be decided to use.

    Yes. I use it when i need it only. Magical. But only when really needed. A ton of people on here use it as a back up.not for daily use unless it is absilutely the last resort because it is addictive.

    I would ask for klonopin over Xanax only because I have tried both. Klonopin by far is longer acting and it has given my life back. Xanax made me shake and is shorter acting. But that's my experience .

      Okay. Thank you. I just need something that will help me get this stress and anxiety under control and won't cause much side effects.

      I take klonopin as an emergency medicine. It's not meant to be taken daily, only as needed. Klonopin will definitely help you relax but it may make you drowsy and loopy.
