I too have been under stress and am weaning off of xanax, (benzodiazapine like ativan) down to 2/3 mg a day total broken up into 2-3 doses, I am hoping to be off of it soon. I tried to see if it had any affect on testoserone, and could find no evidence that it did in either direction, though one site mentioned it raised cortisol which I think must be wrong? It's been a LONG time since my psychopharmacology class, but I am assuming the stress is worse for me than the med. Also have to take the occasional imitrex for migraines.

I too would love some clarification on how meds affect swaying but haven't found any yet. GL to you.

Most medicines tend to sway pink, Tamara says it lowers pH, and I agree with FWO that the stress has got to be worse for swaying than the med.
