It is very dangerous to go CT with benzos. Can you get to a detox?

Oh no!  Suboxone doesn't work for Benzos, only narcotics!

God luck though honey!

i cant see my dr until july 11th...that was going to be my question for him in my visit was how to get off the xanax...i have effexor but its not a benzo..and i dont want to take it if i will feel wacky. he had told me a few months ago to try the effexor and see if it worked but i was well on the loritabs and xanax and felt great( saracism here).  I was offered my old job back which will have me moving about 400 miles away from here to the beach and to beat it all it was my ex husband that offered it so i was planning on going to the beach with my kid this weekend so she can see him and i can get the arrangements and so on and basically see if we can live once again in the same state lol and well for that and other reasons im afraid to make the trip without the benzo's.
my ex husband is as straight as they come and upper class and he will ring my bell if i show signs of anything while there..not to mention the very well paying job he is offering will get tossed. make sense?
i had the plan to move by the end of july and that would give my dr here time to taper or w.e me off the xanax..i just have to make it to the 11th ..ya know?
plus im having to plan the move , rent this place, and deal with starting over again all at the same time..and im babbling but i drink alot of coffee today while trying to figure this out..sorry..coffee may be my next thing i kick. j/k

Could you go to a minor emerg. or a clinic and tell them you are about to go off CT and you know you can't do that, maybe they will give you some valium or something to hold you over until then.  They do that here in Austin.
