Hi, My name is Maria and I've been suffering with depression and anxiety for about 5 years, since the age of 19.
I was determined to fight it away without medication for such a long time but recently I had a bit of a nervous breakdown. I think it's definatly best not to leave things as long as I did.
I havnt stopped shaking unless I take xanex, its been 2 weeks of hell, since the intense anxiety attacks started. I've started on Cipralex too at the same time. At first I took 10mg but the shakes and trembling got really bad. Then I went down to 0.5 for a week until I got used to it. Now i'm on 10mg for a week and then im going up to 20mg for 6 months. Does anybody else think 20 is perhaps too high? I dont want more shaking as I see other people had that side affect too.
I definatly advise people to start them slow and gradually build them up.
I was wondering if anybody would be able to tell me a little bit more about Xanax? Is it highly addictive? Because im already feeling as if I dont know what i'd do when they run out as its the only thing that calms me down.
Wish you all a good evening and hope to meet some new friends here, with this illness you definatly need supportive friendly people around.
