Posted: GAD
I' m 21, male, 185cm (approx. 6 feet), 115kg (approx. 250 pounds) and suffering from severe GAD. Would an optimum way for me to take Xanax be 2mg when I wake up and 2mg six hours later? For example, wake up 8am, take 2mg, take another 2mg at 2pm. I hate the idea of taking too many doses throughout the day and I don' t think Xana ...

Mom, you didn't get the gene...like Pat has...you know ruthless...I have it because it skipped a generation, you have it to some extent because Pat raised you. We are not afraid to speak to managers or complain to get stuff done.

What is that face? You look like you wish you could give me back.

They get the medications from medicine cabinets of their parents, grandparents, or “o ...

Still didn't get a full night's sleep, but I did get a little more than the night before. Felt ok when I woke up, even washed my sheets, but after a few hours got pretty tired. Was able to take a little nap, for about 1/2 to an hour with the help of a xanax, and then I got a headache. Feeling very bloated and nasty ever since. And headachey. ...

Went to the doc and told him about the not being able to sleep and about the peeing all the time, etc... he too, said all normal side effects and didn't want to check my blood sugar at this time seeing that is was normal so recently. OK. I did get a prescription for Xanax, which at Target only cost me $2.50 for the generic so that was cool, and ...

We checked into the Mariposa Thursday evening. I had to go around sniffing everything in the room. It passed the test, barely, because it had been constructed with lots of circulating air. Huge sliding glass doors that open; doors to the closet and bathroom that don’t touch ceiling or floor, open slatted dressers, and air-conditioning in the ...
