coming off of xanax is unpleasant. you'd be better of smoking weed.
coming off of xanax is impossible for me! I get prescribed 6mg a day! No way in hell anyone could taper off of 6mg a day. that would take years! I honestly used to smoke alot of weed but I had to quit so I could pass the UA's I had to take for my pain contract and for the xanax. I wish I never stopped smoking weed because it does help(big mistake that I regret).
I admit I got ahold of alot of Sandoz/Upjohn xanax 2mg bars and I didn't really know how addictive they were.I would take 1mg before a workout and then eat and then pop 2mg of xanax and then smoke a little weed. sometimes I fell asleep in my car! Anyway I went from taking maybe 2-3mg of xanax a day to 8mg a day. I ran out one day and felt awful! I didn"t know what the fuck was wrong.I had hit legs really hard the day prior so i thought it was just the workout because my legs were throbbing and I felt like I had restless leg syndrome.
I really never had so much discomfort from a leg workout so I asked a friend what he though and he said it was because I was going through minor xanax withdrawal and I better get more fast before I really got sick. Thats when I went to a doctor and told him what was going on and got a prescription for ativan. He made wouldn;t prescribe xanax to anybody that was kaisers policy. The doc said I had to go see a psych doctor to get xanax, so I eventually did. The xanax is nice to have around but if I were to do it all over I would of just stuck to weed. I also should of done more research on the xanax before I started using it. I totally underestimated it. I have gone through opiate withdrawals but honestly the xanax withdrawals were worse.
xanax is a miracle drug to alot of people and can be used safely but only in doses of 1-2mg when you really have anxiety or feel overwhelmed. I just fucked up and didn't research it properly and I bought it from the blackmarket before I had a presciption so there were no directions.
