more than likely a xanax addiction

i been on xanax for over a year. my doctor gave it to me along with clonidine,bentyl,and quinine during my home detox. i admit it took away the anxiety and helped me sleep but also started a xanax addiction (even though i dont abuse the xanax). you have to weigh the pros n cons and figure whats best for you.

xanax is really addictive. I took 12mg a day for about 7 years. that stuff gets in your cells, in your dna. just the smallst reduction and your body reacts. I'm still on 1/8 mg of valum after 1 year of withdrawl and still have migranes and very painful legs. I know heroin addicts like "benzo's" particually xanax to highten the effects of heroin, also methidone. Good luck.

XANAX HELPS WITH THE WITHDRAWLS BUT IS ALSO REALLY ADDICTIVE IN IT SELF AND A BENZO HABIT IS WORSE IN MY OPINION THAN HEROIN AND I AM FIGHTING BOTH
