What does Xanax make you feel like?!


Question: What does Xanax make you feel like?
I have anxiety about flying on planes and I'm going to be taking a long 10 hour flight soon. It's a red-eye, so I would also like to get some sleep too if possible. I was considering taking Xanax to help calm the anxiety, and I'm a bit curious about the effects it has on you, as well as if it makes you tired. If anyone has any knowledge or experiences with this I would really appreciate it, thanks!

Xanax calms you down when you have anxiety. This would be good for you if you are terrified of flying (like me). Do you have a prescription already? If you don't it is really hard to get it prescribed. It's best if you know your doctor already. Tell him/her that it is just for a flight and hopefully he will give you a script (even if it's only a few to get you through this flight).



well that's a fantastic idea. xanax is one of the most relaxing drugs i've ever taken. being relaxed in itself will make you feel sleepy, but how tired xanax makes you feel really depends on the dose. the more you take, the more tired you'll be, and the less you take, the less tired you'll be. simple. the amount you should take varies with everyone, but be careful not to overdose.



If you would like to be a frequent flyer, and not be afraid to fly, when you have more time to prepare, I don't know how soon you are going...check out Pathways to Mastership by Jonathan Parker, quantum quests, I used his guided meditations for my fear of flying, I was terrified, and within a month I decided to fly up to see my family, and I wasn't scared...at all, I am still not, years later.



Be careful if you've never had it before. Last month my doctor gave me .5 Xanax XL. It had a paradoxical effect on me, meaning it worked the opposite of what it should have. Valium does the same for me. If there is anything you've had in the past that you know will help keep you calm, then you may be safer using that.

Personal experience.



Depending on dosage it can make you sleepy. For the most part it makes you feel really calm and mellow. It is very fast acting, within 15 minutes of taking it you will feel its effects.



Yup is perfect for anxiety but is a really strong med kind of makes you feel drunk, i would recommend valium is weaker and works too.
