Day 13 - Feeling better

Some of you might remember my doctor prescribed Tranxene every 6 hours, Xanax 2 (.5) every 6 hours and 2 Phenegren every 6 hours to help me with the immediate withdrawals from Lortab.  After posting this, many of you warned to be careful not to become addicted to the benzos.  I'm now only taking Tranxene once a day just before bed.  I take a Zanax in the morning to help me stay focused and keep the anxiety down.  I've only had to take Phenegren occasionally.  Because of your advice I've been able to be very careful and I'm suspecting I'll be off the Tranxene completely with the next couple days as well as the Xanax!

Thanks for all your help!!!

Tranxene is a longer acting benzo.  I found out it's not as strong as Xanax but last longer. Since I was freaking out when I called my doctor she chose this routine.  Many people advised me to be very careful not to become addicted to the benzos.  So, I've been extremely careful.  Like I said, I'll be off them within the next couple days!  YIPPEE!!!  

I have to admit I have horrible mood swings right now and I'm sure that will pass, but today is a good day for me!
