Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Well, , here's my two cents--I like Xanax too! I don't get bad side effects but it's not enough to help me sleep with the FMS problem. -Marielindabones9 <lindabones9@...> wrote: I like Xanex, and thank god for it!!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I was recomending valium for sleep, not for use during the day. I don't think LM needs anything for the day, if so xanex is better than valium, valium is for night time when your planning on sleeping. hugs C In , " lindabones9 " <lindabones9@y...> wrote: > I like Xanex, and thank god for it!!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 LM That was my exact point, most of us like xanax hell it is one of the most addicitve drugs out there, hee hee there is a reason for that. But for long term, deep sleep, it is not enough for many of us. Valium or ambien or restoril or colonpin are better drugs, they are slower to metabolize and stay in your system longer. hugs C In , Jane Doe <oceanlilly_csu@y...> wrote: > Well, , here's my two cents--I like Xanax too!
