Summary

Grove 76710, who has ME/CFS, wrote in December 2020 that Xanax was their answer for getting sleep and for the anxiety and panic attacks that come with the illness, used only sparingly when panic or a "doom feeling" set in. After seven years on the same prescription the dose had not been raised and the drug had not lost its effectiveness. The posts say nothing about their overall severity or recovery.
