However everyone reacts differently to medications. I personally found that although Xanax helps your feelings of anxiousness it also CAUSES them (this is an actual side effect) therefore creating the need for more Xanax. (the first time I was on them) It was very difficult for me to stop taking them after five years it was more of a withdrawal effect ...nervousness,,,anxiety than anything else. Years later I was prescribed Xanax again only this time I took them "as needed" rather than Daily and did much better and had NO ill effect when I stopped. However I prefer Valium (because it does not cause me to be anxious as Xanax did) and switched to them have since taken them off and on...(per prescription) and Valium has NEVER caused me any problems..stopping or using. MOST IMPORTANT....ALWAYS consult a Doctor to track your reaction. Hope I could help.
