I'll be interested in reading the responses. My mom died in January and I've been having a hard time dealing with her passing. I get easily stressed out, irritable and can't sleep.

My doctor prescribed Xanax for me also. I haven't gotten the script filled yet, as I wanted to learn more about it.

Someone told me they were on it, and it made her apathetic, meaning she found herself not caring if dishes were done, or laundry, etc.

Good luck.
