I'm sorry you had such serious side effects. That is never good and can happen with any medication. Ativan had a paradoxial reaction for me, and when I took it I was hyper. But Xanax has made me a functional person. I take a low dose but without it I would not have been able to come clean from my DOC due to severe anxiety I was self-medicating.

I never mind hearing case studies as long as they are presented as such, but I do mind when medical 'professionals' claim they are writing a professional paper when not following basic rules.
