I meant that I was having panic attacks BEFORE I started taking the Xanax. After I was on it for awhile, it worked so well that I took more than I should and became addicted. I guess I was searching for that initial "high" --- I weaned off it when I realized what I was doing.

The Xanax DID work for anxiety -- and very well I might add. Sorry for the confusion. Hugs, Lee
