Hello,

I am from Turkey and I could not find any comment regarding people's experience. That is why I wanted to come here and ask you. My mother is 57 years old and almost two months ago a very dear relative of ours has passed aways suddenly. And for a week, she has been having panic attacks on a daily basis. The psychiatrist prescribed her Xanax and Cipralex. She is taking 0.75 mg Xanax (0.25 after breakfast, 0.25 after dinner and 0.25 before she goes to sleep) and 5 mg Cipralex (the doctor told her to take half of the pill for 10 days then she will start taking 10 mg). Due to the medications, she sleeps all day and I wonder if this will go away soon. Seeing her like this makes me so sad. And as a person with anxiety, SAD and ADHD, I feel so devastated. Did anyone have similar experiences? What do you suggest to me to make her better? Do the effect of drowsiness due to Xanax go away soon? Thank you in advance.
