I know it's a prescription, but I have Xanax for anxiety. But I make a point not to take it before my session, as I don't want her to see me altered in any way (although I work on Xanax...1mg is ok, 2mg if I want to pass out!) But I can also let loose and cry. I'd think on the Xanax I wouldn't care enough to cry. It's not true for me, but a friend of mine who takes it says she can take one, and her house can be on fire, and she just won't care. LOL I wish that worked for me! (I switched to Xanax from a couple years on Valium, which only gave me weird dreams)
