With Xanax, my mind can feel and articulate my internal suffering well. But without it, my mind is so flooded with anxiety I would never have the energy to post this.

Has anyone ever experienced something similar? Is there really hope? I'm in tears right now because the feeling I get from Xanax is so beautiful and NORMAL.
Any insight would be appreciated.
I have Xanax, as an as needed prescription med, for my anxiety. I don't feel any of those things, that you mention. It's not a mood enhancer.

I'd recommend speaking to a doctor, about these feelings of disconnect.

Being able to think/feel more clearly, on Xanax, is not what the med is used to treat.
