I feel bad for saying this, but I find myself kinda craving taking alprazolam. Like, it's nothing that's really physical. But mental. Mentally speaking, I look forward to taking it, I love the feeling it provides. The feeling of no anxiety, and not worrying over the smallest things. If I could, I'd take it every single day. But I can't because that's dangerous and I don't wanna do anything dangerous. Instead of simply taking it during panic attacks, I find myself planning when I take it. The only physical thing I notice when I don't take it, is I'm more easily anxious and I get panic attacks a bit easier. When I think about taking it, but knowing I can't, it's distressing for me. The prescription says "Take 3x daily as needed" so what I think that means, is if I have a panic attack in the morning, I have to take it when I have that panic attack, then again later on even though I don't have a panic attack, then again later that night (I think that's what the perscription means, albeit is a bit confused about it, so I plan on asking my pharmacist tomorrow). But instead, I've been spreading that 3x daily as needed, into once a day. So instead of having to take it 3x in that one day, I'd spread it to 1x a day for 3 days, just so I can experience the anxiety free feeling.
The perscription dose isn't a lot, it's .25 MG. But it still provides an anxiety free feeling.
