Xanax, Vicodin, Prozac
by yanuma, Feb 13, 2009 02:39PM
I have been on Xanax 1mg/tid for almost 22 years (panic attacks and GAD). I also have been
on Antidepressant for about 30 years. For backpain I received Vicodin and I became so happy,
that I thought, finally, something kicked in. Well the Vicodin was my downfall, sometimes after
taking it for about 3 months, I would take 2 Vicodins q 2 or 3 hrs. to have the same "happy"
effect. No spaced out or anything, could think clearly, and then after about 9 months, boom,
I was a wreck. Went to Detox, which inself was the most horrible experience in my life so far,
I thought this is it. Afterwards my Doc would not give me anything, other than Lexapro. Well the
first night I walked the hallway, GIVE ME SOMETHING, I WILL CRAWL UP THE WALLS,
PLEASE. That is how I got started with .5 mg Klonopin 3/tid, and now am on 1 mg tid, probably
for the rest of my life. But the Depression has gotten worse, and I have taken every Antidepressant on the market,
next step???? Either death or Shock Therapy. BTW I am a Nurse and can not help myself. Sad.
