I was under the impression that bipolar are much more extreme ?
like in a manic phase people would do crazy shit like spend all their money for something useless or get into fights etc..
things like that ?
I know all about anxiety and xanax has been a life savior, many are againts it and benzos in general but most that belong to that group HAVE NOT experienced TRUE anxiety. (Or are ex-junkies). Also there are two kinds of "stages" in bi-polar the really serious one where you do all kinds of weird and crazy shit and the milder one, where the changes are noticeable, but nowhere near as extreme. But i agree go see a doc. Actually i just came from mine and told her i have no intentions of coming off xanax just for the sake of coming off it... (She didn't even suggest that i would come off, but i told her anyways). Even if there where only two options: 1. being seriously addicted (hasn't happened in 8 years) or 2. keep suffering, i'd choose the first one.
All the best...
