Jesus was just one of many prophets,he can not be the son of god because,there is no god!!! Please try and come to terms with this concept,until you do you will be guilt ridden and unhappy,faith is only expectation

Do not assume this person was a problem with drugs!
The way u respond to someone about God makes a big difference weather they accect/ denie him. I believe in God and know that he can give u a peace that passes all understanding but a person must be open to receive it and the way u are coming at them their not going to be open their going to be on defense !! Just saying

I pray to GOD almost every day to not let me feel the way I do. But I wake up the next day and feel the same way. Just maybe GOD gave humans the gift of brains to make these medications to help people out. Just don't as long as they are not abused. I don't take the pill often because I forget I have them. Buy I just took one because of many days just of praying it's wasn't working. But guess what maybe God did answer my prayer and let me remember the Xanax. Right now I feel good..... I read several in places that shelf life on drugs are really about 15 years, but pharmicutical companies want to make money, not cure us or make us feel better.

I love all the comments. Came on here because I am detoxing from pain meds. Rather suffer from the pain of my arthritis and back issues than be on these stupid drugs I fight to get. (yeah need a new doc. They just dont get it) anyway. I was told xanex helpx with the detox and I,have some that is 2 &3 yrs expired, so from what I read from ya'll, its probably ok to take.
Just to commentt on the Jesus statment, I feel prayer is a great thing. Turning to God when you are in need of help is what you should do if that is within your belief. After all God created the heavens and the Earth and all that is in it, then wouldnt it be correct in,saying he gave man the knowledge to create medications and doctors to perscribe it to help us sufferers of illnesses? Just becausr a person takes a medication for various reasons, doesnt mean they are bad. Yes turn to God for answers, but be mindful that your answer might just be un a bottle of xanex which would help you with what you need.

Jesus DOES save. Y'all who knock it will find out some day what it is all about. There is no reason to slander someone who believes differently than you. You just show how intolerant, unkind, unloving you are. What are you so afraid of? I am sure you will continue with terrible comments. Just supports what I say.

Wow...Some people are so cruel. I believe in God but also take anxiety and panic attack meds. I don't blame Him I blame society. This forum is supposed to be somewhat of a support group. Anyone who is judgemental should keep their comments to themselves. Anxiety is very crippling. For those of you who have experienced it you know what I mean.. It sucks but I deal with it. Medication doesn't always do the trick either.

I agree! Religious people are the most screwed in the head and criticize people all the time. Medicine is what saves people not freakin child-molesting priests.

What on earth has religious mumbo jumbo got to do with the shelf life of a medicine? One, moreover, which is most effective in the treatment of anxiety and panic disorder? I can think of a few that may help delusional states...

Depends on how you stored it. If you kept it in your bathroom, probably no good. If you kept it in a tight bottle away from light and extreme temperatures, I'd say you definitely have at least 50-75% potency left.

Amen for that! That is why I take them for anxiety! They are a lifesaver when the panic attacks start to set in!!!

I have been dealing with all different types of pills for decades. The expiration date on the pill bottle (usually for 1 year from fill date) is a marketing tool and is not real.

I've looked into this question a great deal and the best answer I can give comes from actual use. Foremost, pills will always last longer as long as they are kept away from light, extreme temperatures, moisture and air. With solutions, creams, and injections it's a whole other ball game.

In regard to plain old pills I would say they are still near maximum efficacy on the inside of 10 years. I still use pills that have expiration dates from 2006. I have read some rough statistics in medical literature that stated that pills are usually good for 5 years past their expiration date, and become 10-25% less effective every year.

I don't know how precise that is, but it is true that it takes a pill decades to no longer have any effect at all. Xanax will easily last 5+ years, and perhaps may be at 50-75% strength at 15 years provided they have been stored properly. I know this from practice.

You need more than medication !!i once again must stress you are extremely delusional ,and are displaying all the signs of being mentally disturbed,your delusion is based on the premise that a man that died over 2000years ago,one of many prophets could have any possible influence on your health issues,ps the advice I have freely given you I would usually charge 300 dollars for!!!kindest regards,dr David James .

Roger, you're so RIGHT! Some folks say - or think - they have had panic attacks when they have only experienced mild anxiety. A full-blown panic attack comes in like a freight train and you're basically helpless against the mind's "fight or flight" instinct. You try your best to downplay it; to think positively and tell yourself that it will not kill you. That's what the shrink told me, along with breathing exercises to keep from hyperventilating. But - that's little defense against the scariest thing I've ever experienced. Once you have had one panic attack, the LAST THING in the world you want is to have another one. They can be brought on by a number of things, or by nothing at all...I have a fear of tall bridges/overpasses and if I approach one without warning I have an immediate reaction and stop the car. If I need to find someone to drive me across the bridge, so be it. On the other hand, I can be sitting at home watching TV and feel an attack coming on, and am basically powerless to avoid it. The attack starts with you recognizing the symptoms - short choppy breathing, stomach tied in knots, mind racing...then if an attack occurs, hyperventilation, severe intestinal pain and sometimes loss of bowel control, heart pounding out of your chest, and the craziest thoughts going through your mind. The only thing that will help me is an immediate dose of Xanax, which I have in my pocket or close by at all times, for almost 20 years now. It takes about 15 minutes for the drug to calm me and when it does, I thank God for the drug that helps me retain my sanity. Don't judge unless you know the facts...

You are so right.People who have never had full blown panic attacks have no idea how scary they are.If they ever had one they would not be so quick to judge and would take the xanax to ease the fear.There is nothing you can do while having one until they go away and you think you are going to die.I would rather be bitten by a rattlesnake.
