I found this info on Xanax: SIDE EFFECTS: Drowsiness or dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes, slurred speech, clumsiness, trouble walking, decreased/increased interest in sex. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: yellowing eyes or skin, signs of infection (e.g., persistent sore throat, fever). A serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

I know of no OTC meds for anxiety. Xanax IS an anti-anxiety med however! If it isn't working, ask your doctor to change you to ativan or vallium.For me Vallium works wonders.Most doctors are hesitant to prescribe them for longer than a few months however due to the risk of addiction to them. Hope this helped. :)

I believe it does. I've been given ativan while in the hospital, and if I remember right, it is a barbituate.

you better believe it.  Don't try to find out how much.  Stick to whatever is prescribed for you.  Also, xanax is highly addictive, so don't mess around with it.

I took it for a short time....for depression. I had headaches, and gained weight.  Also, when I stopped taking it...my hearing kept going in and out.  I kept hearing this zzip..zzzip...I could actually feel a strange vibration going thru my head...and that's when I figured out it was my hearing....fading in and out.  Really weird.  And they say it is not habit forming....but, then they say "well, you can't just stop taking it..you have to be weaned off of it."  If that's not an addiction....then explain that one to me!! I ended up just going to a counselor and now I am doing great....I just had to have someone not involved with my life to help me figure things out.

Every person is different, every person reacts differently to drugs and dosages...but...as far as I'm concerned, xanax is the wonder drug of the new millenium. It helps me sleep, it has no side effects (for me), I can function fully while taking it. I am totally unfamiliar with rivotril and so can't comment on it. I have taken Paxil before (10 years ago, for about 6 months) and found it to be a nightmare, especially to go off of it, and would never take it again. Bear in mind that xanax is not an anti-depressant (like Paxil) - it is prescribed for anxiety. Totally different drug categories. Also bear in mind that no doctor (except a quack) will continue to write refills for a drug like xanax that is considered a controlled substance, unless YOU address the core issues behind your sleep problem - which are non-medical, lifestyle changes that it is up to you to "fix". I took xanax to help me sleep when I had severe pain from a fractured rib - and couldn't tolerate painkillers - but as soon as my rib was more or less healed, the doctor would no longer give me refills for the xanax.

i took it for like one or two days & had horrible side effects.  i got confused & forgot what i was doing in the middle of cooking dinner.  i also had horrible anxiety & restlessness.  i haven't heard any good feedback about it. i wouldn't recommend it.  however, everyone reacts differently to different meds.

Funny thing about xanax, when you start getting that feeling that you are going to have an anxiety episode it gets you back on an even keel, no side affects.\n  If you are taking it say three times a day as may be prescribed there is a possibility of feeling tired, I have a rule of thumb if you don't feel you need it don't take it. If you do that's when you feel tired.  \n  One other thing to take into consideration is the dosage. If you can get by cutting the  pill in half, give a shot, If that feeling persists then by all means take the other half. .\n  Xanax not only can be physically addictive but psychologically too.\n  It is not recommended the axnax be used to treat every day stress.

Try by knocking you flat on your butt at the least and putting you in the hospital at the most.  Both are downers and should NEVER be mixed.  I take Xanax and the label very clearly states that you should not drink alcohol with it.
