CNN: Micheal Jackson took 10 Xanax a night!
 

I'm kinda over this over exposure Micheal Jackson news as well but this seemed interesting to me:

One security guard that sheriff's deputies interviewed said he expressed his concern about Jackson's use of 10-plus pills a night to another staffer.

The second staffer replied: "Jackson was doing better because he was down from 30 to 40 Xanax pills a night," according to the document.

One of the guards said he and three other employees would get prescriptions for Jackson under their names.

That's hardcore!

Ya, so hardcore that a friend of mine, was taking like 30/40 xanax per day. Hallucinating and checked himself into rehab and hung himself with his shoelaces.

xanax rocks, but you really need watch it.

Xanax is a great drug when taken correctly under a doctors order. Downside is it can be hard to quit.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!

That's insane!

Why does anybody need that much and I find it hard to believe that anyone can
even survive like that. But then again he is dead.

Fucking crazy. Those staffers are going to jail.

That is some serious pill popping.

True sign of an addict when you need more and more to get the same effect...reality is for those who can't handle drugs!

you start with 1 per day, build tolerance to it, so you do 2 per day, then 3, then 4, then before you know it you pop 50 per day like candy...

true BUT it's also true for millions of people who take drugs prescribed for a reason by a doctor, anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications often stop working altogether, people build up a tolerance to a drug and then the next step is to up the dosage to get the same effect you had at the lower dosage - but when you get to the point you need 10 Xanax it's time for another medication and to get off Xanax completely.

was that the 1 mg or 2 mg.....either way now we all know why he was that FUCKED UP....to be that naturally fucked up is really hard to stay out of a psych ward per court or Dr. commital. usually your determined to be a risk to yourself or the general public at large.

Damn. That's crazy. Dude was out of control.

yeah the rat fucked them all:1orglaugh

Maybe it was the .25mg ones so he took a total of 2.5mg :upsidedow

Very true. They do tend to up the dose when they start to not work as well. You go to a doctor for help, not to become an addict.

omg! that's a lot...

that dude was crazy!

That's crazy, but most other Xanax addicts are as bad if not worse.

Damn! I took one and fell asleep.

I know a guy that make half his living from selling prescription drugs. It's really sad.

That is when you know you are a complete psycho!

How can people trade cocaine habit for sleeping pill addiction? I mean, sleeping pills don't give you kicks much, do they?

Xanax can give you a kick if you do not really need it. My psych said people that do not need it can feel a high from it.

when things feel overwhelming, sometimes it's better to be asleep than awake

Your shrink is obviously a quack.

Your psych?

:1orglaugh

Were you high on xanax when you wrote this?

A lot of pills and stories.Who knows...

Anyhow someone will go down!

I can see who are the expert drug takers here :D
