Hi,

I'm working through anxiety around spending time with my family tomorrow, Easter. I kept myself up most of the night with an excuse that I was cold, but knew I was anxious about spending the day in a family gathering.
Now I'm taking Arabian to get a quick 4 last hours of sleep. I'm glad I am not driving. Being wih my family is confusing at holidays, etc..past issues, alcholism, etc...in my family. If anyone is willing to chat about coping and staying of of sleep-aiRAB or the kind they end up taking for anxiety. I don't like SSRI's they break up my sleep cycle and I think Welbutrin caused me to have long-term ringing in my ears. I hear some people take xanax for sitautional anxiety. I'm guessing that is only a daytime thing and it doesn't put you to sleep. Maybe I'll keep researching meRAB on my own for sure too. Private messages are welcome too.
 
Actually, Xanax is what I take to help me sleep when I am very anxious or having serious anticpatory anxiety. I take .5 mg's ususally, unless it is particularly bad then i will take .75
It knocks out the anxiety and makes you drwosy, so the sleep is great, and usually the "hangover" is minimal..just be sure you get at least 8 hours!
But be careful because xanax is highly addictive!!!! Use only when necessary!
Good luck!
