I don't take it everyday or even every week. I only keep it for when something stressful happens like a death or when I have stage fright or something such as that. As soon as I get through that day, I stop taking it . Is it o.k. to take it just once in awhile like that?

I am a dancer, I get panic attacks when I perform. If I take xanax it makes me move slowly and my mind is not sharp. How can I calm my aniety and not slow my movement or mind?

Hi,
How much Xanax do you take at one time? I just started taking Xanax and I have found I can't take more than .25 mg at a time or else I'm sleepy.
In your case, maybe a different drug such as a beta blocker like Inderal would be a better choice. I have never taken Inderal but from what I understand is blocks the physical reactions of anxiety such as sweating, heart palpitations, etc. I've heard it doesn't have the slowing down effect quite as much.

Propranolol, a beta-blocker, is what dancers and musicians with stage fright sometimes use to treat their anxiety without grogginess.
You'll want to talk about this problem to your psychiatrist, and he will switch you to propranolol. If you have told him before that you are in the preforming arts then xanax was improperly perscribed

Do You take the xanax every day? I take 1mg to help me sleep at night. That's the only time I take it.

I take it only when I'm get overstressed, or when I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack. That is rare but when it happens my heart races and I can't function. It works calming me down but slows me down. I compete in ballroom dance and I can't be slowed down. Without it, I wouldn't get out there and dance. Tried to dance without it and my body was trerabling and I was shaky. Stage fright I guess. I hate to quit what I enjoy and don't know how to overcome the anxiety. I only take it about once a month or less. I would love to know how to clam down without slowing down.

I take two .25mg at one time. I tried one but it doesn't calm me down enough. Two calms me enough but it slows me down. I will check into the Inderal. Thank you .
