Hi, I'm 29 And Was Diagnosed With General Anxiety Disorder
Hi, I'm 29 and was diagnosed with general Anxiety disorder when I was 18. I have been taking Xanax ever since and it has helped me immensely. I did not begin to lead a "normal" life until I was prescribed this - and I had never even heard of it until then. It is a true lifesaver for me and have tried lower doses before but found my anxiety to be too overwhelming (inexplicable, unstoppable sobbing spells, racing thoughts and worries so bad I can't attend work or have normal conversations, enjoy activities I would typically, not leaving the house). Anyway - my husband and I may want to have a child one day. I am currently taking 1 mg about twice a day and less when unnecessary. Should we avoid having children if I have tried a lower dose and my life was almost unbearable for me and him also?
