Efficiency and Super-Scheisters

How much funner was last night's The Closer? Better than the previous three eps and Fritzy got in a GREAT last bit. Maybe we'll see a wedding in the finale...but will Brenda make it down the aisle? I'll be there feeding her Xanax. Love how her parents spice things up.

My Tuesday was fairly blissful. I had a resurfacer--wish I could remember resurfacers are always bad news--in Super-Scheister, the gorgeous suitor who Dish thinks is a con artist but only humors because he resembles a superhero. All professional tasks were easily accomplished. My blood pressure never went above normal levels and I didn't pay for a single meal. My favorite Starbucks baristo opened up the register just to wait on me. Then there was Federer's excellent match and the arrival of Season 4 of Sex and the City and SNL's Best of Alec Baldwin.

All systems go...

My name is Robert Kegan and i would like to show you my personal experience with Xanax.

I am 19 years old. Have been on Xanax for 60 days now. I have periodic panic attacks, particularly at social gatherings, riding in cars, and walking into rooms full of people (i.e. late to class). I felt that the medicine worked, but I felt that it created urges to take more than directed when the rebound anxiety hit, so I switched from alprazolam to clonazepam (Klonopin). I think xanax is great for airplanes and adjunctive treatment with ssri's, but by itself I don't think xanax has much too offer except as a short term treatment for panic attacks, klonopin is less sedating and seems to prevent future anxious episodes without causing cravings, and tolerance seems to build up much slower than xanax does.

I have experienced some of these side effects -
I sometimes felt invisible, like nobody could notice anything I was doing. Occasionally it would make me fall asleep if I had to stay in one spot for too long. After a fairly short period of time I would feel moderate rebound anxiety.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
