I am 38 year old woman. 18 months ago I got a great new job. A male coworker there began harassing me. As a result of that stress I have not had a menstrual period. Last month my mother left town and is missing. Since then I have had severe bouts of anger and anxiety (for the first time in my life). I tried Paxil but the side effects were awful. Today I am on Xanax and I cannot believe how happy I am. I am going to see a psychiatrist to deal with the underlying problems to change my behaviors, but until then, I hope this drug continues to work. With the economy the way it is, I don't want to end up losing my job over my anxiety attacks! Any comments would be appreciated.
