XANAX - The Evil one

(1/3) > >>

CVR:
Hey guys.

For all of you taking this drug, be very..very…very careful! Xanax is only a short-term drug .
I have been on this for more than 1 year now, on 0.25mg daily. Although this is not a high dose, I have been experiencing withdrawal symptoms that is more severe than the panic attacks itself! Have been tapering of this for 2 weeks now and will still take another 2 months or so to be XANAX free.

Please guys, be careful when taking this drug. I have read many stories now of people who took it for years and more than 4mg per day. They all had severe withdrawal symptoms that lasted for months. Speak to your doctor about this and do some research about this drug. I know that is a very helpful drug in the short term, but a most evil villain in the long run  >:(

Take care

tmicrowave:
is your doc helping you taper off?
i've heard about that sort of withdrawal
maybe you can find some people online going through the same stuff for help and support

CVR:
Nope, will go it alone for now, but if things get worse, I'll find a doctor that knows what he/she is doing. Will try some natural herbs after xanax, know it is not as potent, but at least it's saver.

mom2boys:
I take xanax as needed. I have for about 2 years now. I can go months without or I could need it daily for a week or so. But I have NEVER taken the .25 to .5 up to 3 times a day like my script says.
Good luck. My Mom has been on .25 for like 22 years. She takes it every day.

CVR:
You are pretty safe then if you only take as needed or 2 weeks maximum, you won't get addicted to the stuff.
