No more Xanax

This was the last chemical that was in my body.  I had been prescribed 90 1 mgs a day of Xanax to help counteract the Subocone/Zubsolv I was taking.  Since I am now ClEan from subs for over 25 days I decided to cut back on my 1mg a day of xanax.  Well I made it this is the 3rd day with nothing but good old fashioned sleep.  Feels great! 3 days with minor withdrawal symptoms.  Facial twitches and a little depersonalization .  This.morning not much of anything.   Am I in the clear? I took it for sleep and I'm now sleeping 6 hours Without it!
I'm so happy about  not taking 1 pharmaceutical.  I am FREEEEEEEEE!

Congratulations !!!!!  As for the Xanax I think you are free.  There are a couple different treatment groups docs prescribe Xanax for.  For anxiety they will prescribe 1/4mg  to 1mg.  For people wth panic attacks they can prescribe 4mg and up!  It's in this 4mg/day range that the number of people developing dependence really starts to go up.  My doc gave me one week to taper down off 1mg /day.  It was fine.  

As for the subs you are probably good there too.  I had ups and downs but for the most part better ea day.

Feels pretty good huh?  Life without pills is awesome.  Being free is awesome
