Well, i feel, its hard to describe, i feel anxiety relief with antidepressant feeling.
I feel eased but feeling ok.... just to keep me calm in this enviorment, it only lasts for 3 hours for me.
This is wierd, but i feel sort of a dopamine sensation, but its laid back more like, not like stimulant. Anyways, i dont know whats to say.
Alprazolam thank you.
I am on 4mg daily right now. But i may taper down.
Anyways who ever reads this just for reading...
Matt

Yeah, I agree with you that there is a certain dopamine feeling to xanax. I mean, my problem for decades, even when not depressed, has been lack of pleasure and lack of zest and motivation...usually those are dopamine related. But when I take xanax, I feel comfortable and relaxed yes, but I also feel interested in things, motivated, and I actually feel pleasure in the simple ordinary things of life that normal people take for granted.

Good to hear it's making your life better. Don't be too quick to taper back. Make sure that you give yourself a solid base of experience with it first.

xanax relaxes you so you have no anxiety and that's why things that you once feared are pleasurable now. Anxiety makes things horrible. I took xanax for around 12years before it stopped working for me. Now if I were to take It I would just feel tired. Love Phillipa
