No need for sarcasm. I am simply speaking from personal experience and 2nd hand experiences of others I know personally. I trust a psychiatrist as far as I can throw him, when there as many drug reps in a dr's office as patients I get the hint that the dr is motivated to sell drugs more than he is curing a patient.
By all means advise people to try alternative medicine
This is a false statements, I had said "alternative measures such as breathing, meditation, exercise etc really do help". As far as the 2 years went, well I doubt your qualifications with your obvious inability to pay attention.
On another note. The effects of alprazolam on someone w/o anxiety is quite different than the effect on the person with anxiety. 2 sips of coffee and I am a wreck where most drink a cup or 2 just to feel awake and attentive. My attention span is crap w/o at least 1 milligram of alprazolam in me where you would probably be bobbing your head trying to stay awake.
