Zanax Help

karagirly

Please help....Do any of you mothers take Zanax? I have a 3 yr old who is out of control and and a 2 month newborn. Since having the baby im constantly anxious and sometimes depressed but its really the anxiety that gets me. I feel like i have no time to myself, can never get anything done and my 3 yr old makes life so difficult i find myself getting angry alot (NEVER at her) but it makes me feel awful that i feel that way. She is in terrible twos so she wants my attention 24/7 but with the baby is impossible. Plus she is misbehaving so much. Im trying to stick to same discipline routine but honestly at the end of the day i have trouble remembering what quality time i had with her. It seems the day is spent breastfeeding, putting the baby down for naps, giving my 3 yr old breakfast lunch etc and then back to the baby again. I need something to take the edge off and help me let things roll off my back more. Do any of you have experience taking this while taking care of children. Please help

i was prescribed xanax xr a couple of days ago.  most reviews i've read have been very positive.  I'm still waiting for relief though.

I've never been an advocate of Xanax mainly because of it's addictive nature and to me it's more like a temporary fix. Whereas, antianxiety meds like Celexa etc have been hugely helpful to me. I had horrible anxiety and panic attacks during pregnancy and right after. The Celexa has made me feel even tempered 24/7 versus waiting for a panic attack and then taking something for it. With the Celexa I never get panicked period.

I'm on the extended release so I take it twice a day...once in the morning and once at night so it stays in my system all the time.  It's different from regular xanax in that i don't wait until i'm having panic to take it...i take it to prevent panic.
