[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Xanax gets a bad rap because it deserves one. It works fast and furiously as mother's little helper, but will rob you of your life.[/quote]

Wow, I take one a day to deal with an incredibly stressful time that I am dealing with.  It is not "robbing me of my life."  I work every day at a relatively demanding job and take good care of my kid.  I do have some concerns that it may be uncomfortable for a bit when the time comes to stop taking it (maybe the anxiety will be worse, or sleeping problems), but my life right now is fine.[/quote]

I'm sorry pp. I am absolutely a proponent of medication for psychiatric conditions. But the entire family of benzos is problematic. You are in for one the worst withdrawals with Xanax. Opioids such as heroin are actually easier to withdraw from because they are cross tolerant with other medications and long acting so that you can be weaned gradually. Xanax is so short acting that a tolerance go through the roof very quickly--It wears off people take more--it's a vicious cycle with a falling of a cliff and swirling down a drain while huffing gasoline like feeling. It is extremely dangerous --drs should really not ever prescribe except in a hospital setting. [/quote]
