I have had
anxiety for a very long time & guess really was always
considered the high strung kid. I am 63 & have had a
lot of negative things happen to me. I am currently on
Xanax, but is makes me very tired I only take 1
milligram 3 times a day. most of my anxiety stems
because of stress which I won't even begin to go into
all the details. I am overall a happy person & think I
am always afraid of making a mistake. This is a very
sad way to live, but apparently very common or more
so, than I did think. I have had counseling ,been on
other meds such as elavil & after awhile it seems , I
have side effects. I am concerned as with what I read
about Xanax it says in many articles 9 mo's is the
longest you should take it. I have been on it for 6
years. I have't found any major change in my life can
make my anxiety worse! But, I guess I am a point where
I feel I will never get better, & this is very sad! I
guess the biggest fear is that I will become
completely afraid to go out & be by myself so this is
a concern. I retired 6 years ago & I think the anxiety
level really Zoomed then . Any replies appriciated.
