Xanax is in the class of drugs called "benzodiazepenes".  It is an anti-anxiety agent effecting GABA production in your brain.  It is not generally useful as an anti-depressant.  Its most effective use if for a biological condition known as Panic Disorder.  People with Panic Disorder may need to take a small daily dose indefinitely in order to function and have a decent quality of life.  When used properly under the guidance of a physician they are actually one of the safer medications on the market as far as lack of bad side-effects, allergies, etc.  Continued use will cause a dependency on the drug, but many people with panic feel that this is a very fair trade-off.

I found the following information on the below sites.\n\nThe Non-Rebreather mask (NRB) are used for patients requiring large quantities of oxygen.  Patients suffering from traumatic injuries or cardiac related illnesses call for the NRB.  The NRB employs a large reservoir that fills while the patient is exhaling.  The exhalate is forced through small holes on the side of the mask.  These holes are sealed while the patient is inhaling, thus preventing outside air from entering. The patient is breathing pure oxygen.  The flow rate for the NRB is 10 to 15 LPM.\n\nEMS*USA Non-Rebreather Mask w/Safety Vent Pedi/Child and Adult

I take Xanax for panic attacks and before I get on an airplane, claustrophobia!  \nI don't drink, not my thing so I can't make a comparison for you.  \nI do know however that Xanx and alcohol are addictive.  I'd pass on both if I had the choice.

Currently I am taking Xanex and Lexapro. The Lexapro is working so well that I rarly have to use the Xanex. Lexapro has side effects as all drugs do, and they are super bad for the first few days (nausia, tired) but once you get past that it is great. I have been on it for 2 weeks and I went to the bank today without freaking out, and without Xanex.So I love it. I took Zoloft for a while and it made me feel different. In a bad weird way. I love the way that Lexapro makes me feel. Well I am not as sexually aroused and can't climax right now, but hey it's not perminant and it is going to fix things.

my wife takes it when she feels chest pain coming on...she puts one small tablet under her tongue,  the nitroglycerine dissolves instantly and expands her arteries to allow more blood flow,,,she feels warmth throughout her body when she takes it and afterwards has a mild headache that dissipates in a little while..my wife has already had a 5 artery bypass, but has restricted arteries in her neck that the doctors are reluctant to try and open up due to the risk of stroke...

You must get in contact with another doctor, if you have been taking xanax for all that time and now don't have it I am guessing your system will be sick without it, like going cold turkey.\nMaybe those other doctors do think you need to stop taking it, but this is not the best way after so long.\n  I hope you can find someone sympathetic in your area that will deal with this in a much more empathic manner

Lasix is the tradename for a diuretic, whose generic name is furosemide. It is commonly used in humans to treat heart failure.\n\nIt is used in racehorses to prevent bleeding in the lungs, and probably has performance-enhancing effects too. The links below have some neat information.

Kerlex - is a type of gauze that you can wrap around an arm/leg.  There is a product that has iodine infused through it that can be used to pack wounds that are being allowed to heal without stitches.  I'm sorry, I can't think of the name of it - what we use has gauze about one inch wide, comes wrapped into a roll in a brown bottle.\nThere is also a product called Gelfoam that can be used to absorb blood to facilitate clotting.  When I worked in the nursery, we used it to help stop a circ  from bleeding.\nI would think any of them could be found in a comprehensive pharmacy.\nHope some of that helps!
