I agree with Alexis, my main side effect was sleepiness. I will say if you choose to use it, I would do a couple trial doses. I found my full dose of 5mg was too high for me bc I just wanted to take the edge off my anxiety, so I would only take 1/2 dose which was perfect. When I got pregnant though I had to stop using it and have not used it since bc pregnancy forced me to learn other coping mechanisms.
Well I’m flying tomorrow the doctor gave me 1 mg @Alexis @Stephanie thinking of taking a quarter of if it well the safe option was alcohol
Xanax is wonderful for anxiety and as long as I don't drink the only side effect I've had is sleepiness. But my doctor had me discontinue taking it when I got pregnant. Have you not had luck with the safer options?
