Anyone here that is/been hooked on Xanax??

[Quickerblade]

My neighbour 26 year old taking them for years died a few hours ago, poor guy..

His mother said he was taking 6-7 a day for years, but its when he tried to stop is when he went downhill.

RIP Peter!

I took alprazolam years ago. I didn't like how i felt on it. Quit it cold turkey after months on it. I spend 5 or 6 very harsh days with no sleep at old, cold sweats, taquicardia, i remember i was 107bpm resting in bed. Don't want to go back to it ever.

You can have seizures and all kind of problems when you try to quit Benzos cold turkey. You need to go to a professional detox center.

Those centers are just after money. All they do is get you hooked on something else.
They don't cure the cause of the anxiety thus your problem persists and they have to give you something else.

Poor Peter, never made it to 2012

When benzos are related most people die from OD or suicide. Though seizures are plausible suicide is a lot more common. Its even written in the damn paper in the side effects list.

His sister was telling the ambulance officers that the shit wasnt prescribed, they think he got it off a friend or over the net, i dont think australian doctors prescribe xanax, no way he was prescribed it for that long.

YEP he went cold turkey, his body shutdown, brain, heart and renal failure.

I agree I had a friend who was hooked on pills pretty bad. Well he went to one of those methadone clinics they had him on like 160mg a day of the stuff. And then the doctor gave him a bunch of xanax on top of that. What a pathetic site he was. He would drool on himself he would be so fucked up all the time. I didn't allow him to come over to my place anymore when I saw him like that a few times. They almost killed him in rehab. They had given him a concoction of different meds. Well he starts to piss black! His kidneys and other vital organs were shutting down on him. Took a whole month to stabilize him and get him healed. You have to do your own research and figure out the best thing for yourself!

I had a friend who was like that, no my neighbour. he was a coke addict then all the sudden a valium abuser,

 i literally told him to fuck off out my life, fucken junkie.
all he did was borrow peoples money and not pay back, i think his time will be up soon. bad karma for this dude, stole money from good people, stressed his mum out so bad she died from cancer, sadly her dying is the best thing that happend to her.

A female pillhead I knew had two seizures and had to go to the hospital because she quit her xanie habit cold turkey. Soon as she was out she went right back on...sad. I could no longer associate myself with her.

[Voland]

Right now im taking this. Just one blue pill a day. With my dinner of with my pre-bed snack. Its just basic 5mg diazepam to help a bit with the sleep and 50mgs of long term mild sedative. The first days you wake up and just want to go back to bed but after that one little nap after breakfast and im good to go. The good this is that because im just taking one i can stop cold turkey because there is no lower dose. Not the worse pills i've had. So far no bad sides. Sometimes i feel tired for no reason but thats pretty much all.

[deceiver]

Why the fuck do you need to take this shit?

I don't think i've sleep naturally since i was like 16.

Nah im skinny. And anxiety actually makes me skinnier. Sometime im not motivated to workout all i want to do is sleep o lay in bed with some music. It makes me lazy. The worse part is dragging my sedated ass to the gym. Once im there and start doing something i can get a pretty good workout.

What would be good treatment/medication for anxiety?
A pill can't heal deeply rooted problems, but sometimes life seems too short to heal your inner anus... one would have to become 400+ to sort out the demons.
Any experiences - did it get better?

Arrggghh no good man, dont be a slave to the drugs Voland, get off that shit slowly, my bad, if you feel better on it then cool. I never had a drug addiction to anything so i have no clue how it feels.

Sounds good in theory, but they stop working and you experience sides, so you have to increase the dosage or you start going through withdrawal.  Do not take Benzo's to help with sleep.  If you are using 1-2x every couple weeks that is fine, but on any kind of regular basis and you will be addicted.

 xanax made me go to sleep like ambien  now I just take a valium per day if need be  needing drugs really sucks

[wes]

  The very nature of a DETOX center is to wean one off the stuff safely. The underlying problems are addressed after detox

[dustin]

I try not to take any drug routinely except hormonas. I only take drugs like benzos once in a blue moon.

[Natural Man]

I`m a valium man myself.

why am i not suprised? Explains a lot.

[Borracho]

Really sucks QuickerBlade  

But I can't believe people don't inform themselves when its so easy with the internet these days. A quick search online will tell you that you can die from Benzo withdrawl. A doctor has a plan laid out for those wanting to quit where you switch to valium since it has a longer half life than xanax. Even then the whole process takes like way over 16 weeks ...don't remember the exact time.

Most people don't know but Alcohol and benzo withdrawal can be lethal.
