Zantac Bar Pills?

Hi, I do have, stress related anxiety problems, coupled with depression sometimes. In the past, I tried to fight those symptoms with excessive alcohol consumption. Of course, this doesn't work, since drinking alcohol makes me just sick, sleepy, and, admittedly, lazy.
Someone gave me those abovementioned pills, it turned my life around, I have no withdrawal symptoms after too much drinking anymore, etc., but I am not sure if they would be the cure of my problems on the longer run. Can anyone help me with similar experience? Thank you so much.

Yes, sweetheart, the name of those pills is probably Xanax, and they relax my chest area tremendously, so I do not have to drink. If it helps ne for right now to get off my occasional heavy drinking, would sure do the job. Otherwise I must find a way to deal with too much stress in a different way.

Hi dear, I think you mean XANAX not Zantac. Xanax is an anti-anxiety drug. Zantac is for heartburn. Xanax helps tremendously with anxiety to start out with, but I've found personally that it's effectiveness decreases rapidly after the first few months. Then you'll have to take more to feel the same (actually less) effects from it. Eventually, if you're on it long enough, you won't really feel anything from a higher than normal dose. It's a good short-term solution, but trust me you don't want to take it forever. Talk with your doctor about using it until you can find some other methods to help you manage your anxiety continuously. Good luck with it!
