Dizzy
No energy

The biggest problem with medications is that once people start feeling better they *think* they don't have to take it anymore...

HungSolo · 04-29-2003, 12:40 PM

good thing you're not a cop anymore.

Well I was givin Xanax by the military after I punched some pimple faced Burger King employee for being a smart ass.. They said I had an anger problem.. I think there full of shit and can keep the shitty meds!

angeleyes · 04-29-2003, 12:41 PM

Cold Turkey...not a good idea... 5-7 days after cutting yourself off you can go into grand-mal seizures. Happened to me and I was only taking them for 3 months before I stopped. (I had a pill pushing Doctor) and otherwise I'm a very healthy person.

1mg 4x daily (the generic version)

LeeNoga · 04-29-2003, 01:08 PM

When taking a benzodiazepine like XANAX, the patient should also be aware of the possibility of "rebound anxiety" (also, sometimes called "transient rebound anxiety") when discontinuing therapy. Rebound anxiety is a temporary condition whereby the symptoms that led to treatment return upon withdrawal of the medication. It may be accompanied by other reactions including mood changes, anxiety or sleep disturbances, and restlessness. Since the risk of withdrawal symptoms and rebound effects is greater after abrupt discontinuation of treatment, most physicians usually prescribe a gradual tapering of dosage.

Good, get off that shit. I knew a woman who spent over a decade on Xanax. She hardly ever bothered to get off her couch. It was really pathetic.

Well, I felt flu-ish for 3-4 days, felt good for 2 and bamn on the 6th day I was on the floor seizing. What you are doing isn't smart.

Back then.... I didn't have the knowledge that you should ween and not go cold turkey otherwise I wouldn't have put myself through that... If this is the way you choose to go, I do wish you luck and hope you aren't in the 50% that is subject to convulsions. You really should contant your Doctor.

I'm not a Doctor... I just play one on GFY.

Fletch XXX · 04-29-2003, 02:18 PM

give em to me then.

LeeNoga · 04-29-2003, 02:22 PM

<-------Angeleyes assistant, er' just play one on GFY:

At doses greater than 4 mg per day, XANAX has the potential to cause severe emotional and physical dependence in some patients and these patients may find it exceedingly difficult to terminate treatment. It is important that your physician help you discontinue this medication in a careful and safe manner to avoid overly extended use of XANAX.

In addition, the extended use of XANAX at doses greater than 4 mg per day appears to increase the incidence and severity of withdrawal reactions when the drug is discontinued. These are generally minor but seizure can occur, especially if you reduce the dose too rapidly or discontinue the medication abruptly. Seizure can be life-threatening

Honeyslut · 04-29-2003, 02:22 PM

Xanax is suppose to be for short term anixety. ( about 2 weeks )

Your doctor should have put you on paxil or prozac for long term aniexty for about 6 months..

I hope you get over the withdrawals real quick!

Shoplifter · 04-29-2003, 04:21 PM

One of the withdrawal symptoms of Xanax is seizures and death.

One of the most addictive substances there is.

Jakke PNG · 04-29-2003, 04:23 PM

I don't take any pills, never have never will.
Except when my wisdom's tooth were pulled, but that was some seriously good shit.

You'll probably become depressed for a while as well. Your body produces a brain chemical that makes you feel happy. When you take pills like your taking it will actually stop your body from producing this chemical since your taking it orally. When you stop taking the pills your body wont start producing that chemical right away so you will become somewhat depressed for a while.

kmanrox · 04-29-2003, 08:08 PM

wow, it's a good thing the xanx i take is purple 1mgs to sleep!!
