No, but I have in the past. Xanax when I was shaken hard by a break up with an SO the drug was miraculous. I took it for about 6 weeks. I was able to eat again, stopped having dry heaves in the morning when I woke, stopped shaking so much for no specific reason.
When I stopped taking it I was nervous to not have one with me in case I needed it, but within a few weeks that went away.
I have taken a few here in there in the last 20 some years since I took them. Maybe I have taken a total of 15 in the last 20 years.
I took Buspar, which is an antianxiety, for 6 months about 15 years ago. It did calm me a little, but it disrupted my sleep. My doctor had kind of insisted I take it, I was going through a very very bad time with a physical illness and she felt it would help my anxiety and maybe my pain. When I went off of it she wanted me to stay on it.
I tried Prozak for 5 weeks, which I really thought was a bad idea, it didn’t make sense to me at all, and it was horrible.
