Is it normal that Xanax sometimes makes me really really talkative?

I take Xanax almost daily...  In layman's terms it is LIKE but  NOT THE SAME as alcohol when it comes to its effect on the brain.  Its effect tends to differ from me from time to time.  Sometimes it does make me more talkative, yes.  It depends on the situation I take it in, how I felt when I took it, and how long it had been since my last dose.

Maybe you are trying to hard, just relax.  Talking as natural as it should be, isn't always easy for some to do in the company of others, but I think if you were to not put too much effort into it, it would just come normal.  I am sure you have got opinions about things, just pick your time, don't just talk for talking sake, because then you may babble and talk a whole lot of nonsense.  Speak up when you know you have something soound to contribute and after\nawhile you will be saying more than even you realize.  Baby steps, you'll be o.k   Talking is overated anyway :)

Xanax is an anti-depressant and anti-anxiety compound. It does not alter your metabolism but rather works on your central nervous system\n\nIt is not dangerous to do physical activities with Xanax in your system but it might be harder to perform on them. The "Pounding" sensation you experienced was probably more of a panic attack, not directly brought on by the drug.\n\nIf your daily regimen involves strenuous dancing then I would bet that your heart is healthy.\n\nIf you are really concerned it might be advisable to have your physician order an ECG to put your mind at ease.\nSo get back on stage and break a leg.

Yes; too seriously.\nI don't talk much and,when I do say something, everyone is listening.\nThis is very stressful.

I believe it does. I've been given ativan while in the hospital, and if I remember right, it is a barbituate.

Effoxor and others like is (Plavix?) tend to sedate/depress sexual stimulus (for real - no joke).  Its subtle, bnnut you definately don't have "any interest" when taking them.

This is the reason you aren't supposed to take it for more than few months at a time. It is a temporary fix. I used to take it and I can tell you it sucked coming off of it. I was on the lowest dose before i quit it too. It helped me alot between starting a new anti anxiety drug (effexor) and waiting for it to kick in which takes up to a month. Xanax changes you. it makes you numb to the good and bad of life. I use it to get past days I know i couldn't do on my own. However I try my best not to take it except in emergencies. You should talk to your doctor about how to best come off of it and possibly substitute it with an SSRI or similar drug that isn't addictive.

i sometimes feel this way. i don't feel like I am that shy of a person, but I guess other people think I am very shy. and then when boys I like tell me to be myself and say what I want, I get flustered and say things like "i don't know" even though I have a full journal of stuff I would love to tell them. I don't know why it is so hard for me to speak up in certain social situations. I have things to say, and sometimes I start talking, but then like you said, the more aggressive/louder person takes the conversation over. I guess you and I both just have to try harder to speak our minds and not think so much about what other people will think. Easier said than done though... I hate being shy and I don't know how to get rid of it. and it certainly causes problems in meeting men. so u aren't the only one out there with this issue

Try by knocking you flat on your butt at the least and putting you in the hospital at the most.  Both are downers and should NEVER be mixed.  I take Xanax and the label very clearly states that you should not drink alcohol with it.

xanax belongs to the benzodiazepine classification of antianxiety drugs it is an immediate action choice for MILD anxiety and social phobia\nas is ATIVAN \nValium which is still widely used is also used but is a poorer choice as it has a longer half life so the patient response may not be as predictable\n benzodiazepine drugs of which xanax is one are also used  as sedatives muscle relaxants  in the treatment of epilepsy and alcoholism\nthe distinction between their uses are determined onset duration and route of administration\nsince you did not specify what the xanax was being used to treat and asked for other drugs i'll give you some more anti anxiety drug names\natarax\nativan\nbuspar \ncentrax\nmiltown\n equanil\nserax\nstelazine\ntranxene\nlibrium\nyour doctor probably feels this is the best drug for you and your condition\ni hope this helps you\ngood luck

Sounds like the cocaine triggered a panic disorder. I get mild cases of these if i smoke weed sometimes. Takes a couple days for me to recover. Time should help. Continue with the meds and maybe take up meditation. Good luck man, I wouldn't wish panic disorder on my worst enemy.

Sorry to hear that you are having a hard time socializing.  I think you need to give some more information before anyone can fully answer your question.\n\nFirst, is your problem associated with your inability to "connect" (or understand) others?  Do you wonder if you're normal or what normal behavior is?  Or, are you highly intelligent and find others not smart enough to have a meaningful conversation?\n\nOr, is this an anxiety issue?  Do you worry about what others think of you?  Are you concerned that people will laugh at you or talk about you?\n\nIf this is a matter of having a tough time understanding other people, I wonder if you might have come from an alcoholic family?  I ask because sometimes children of alcoholics complain of these kinds of issues--they can't integrate, don't know how to behave normally, feel out of sorts.  If you did come from an alcoholic family, seek out a local ACOA or AA meeting for support.\n\nIf you feel anxiety seek out medical help.  Drugs like Paxil can reduce social anxiety.\n\nFinally, if you feel as if you're simply a misfit--seek out other misfits.  Do you have an odd hobby?  Find others with that hobby.  Chances are you'll see eye to eye.\n\nGood luck.
