Xanax

[Guest guest]

It looks like xanax could be one of the " baddies " , does anyone have

any input. What does work for paranoia and anxiety?

Also, what about sleeping aids. How about herbs and Melatonin? Any

info one these?

Thanks, Edie

Bob,

I did the same for my Mom. I thought it was respidal(?sp) but it was

Xanax. I found it the other day when I was going through some old info.

I gave her 1/4 of .50 3x's a day. It smoother her out to function.

I know this drug is considered a no=no, but at very low doses it helped

her to live more comfortably. She was almost 89 when she passed away in

'02. I had her on it the last year and a half of her life. The last

year of that she was in a nh and I had to fight with them to keep her on

it. They also wanted to give her a double dose and it always put her

out of it. So if they wouldn't give it to her after she ate and in

lower doses, it was not good.

It did nothing for her mind, but it did calm her agitation. If it had

bad effects on her body I was not aware of it. And she did not tolerate

drugs at all. Nor did she like them. She never fought this drug. I

think she knew it worked for her.
