You took it last weekend for the last time? I'm confused. How long of a period of time did you actually take xanax?
I wish I could say it was for the LAST time. Whenever I take it I can't stop until I pass out.
Okay, so you took a great deal of it for a short time. Thank God for the short time part, but it is really addictive. I was already addicted to opiates when I started taking xanax and I tried to quit a few times and just couldn't even though I took opiates. I was depressed and couldn't sleep. Normally you need some kind of buffer to ween from xanax. This time they gave me phenobarbitol for just a few days, then I weened from that. If you feel you are still having w/d I think you should see a doctor and just say "hey look I took these, and they're still haunting".
I agree with poetry.
Xanax is bad stuff! For me, taking xanax always MADE me depressed, so I thought "hey take some more!". And more and more until I was out of it. It was a vicious cycle for me. Maybe xanax has the same depressive reaction with you too?
You should not feel depressed for too much longer..you just took them for 3 days...perhaps you may need to address the depression with your doc as it could be the reason that you take too many xanax...good luck and keep posting
If you only took it a week then your problems are not from the xanax. The problems usually come from taking it 2 weeks or more and abusing the dose. Are you sure this is the problem or have you taken it a longer amout of time. With Benzos as Xanax if you have taken them for a long length of time it takes many months to recover your sleep and you can have depression and other W/D during this time. But if only for a few weeks then something else is going on.
I have been on anti-depressants for a number of years so I live with depression and addiction - to xanax and anything else that is addictive. Yeah, I only took the xanax for 3 days but I took enough to have it alter my brain chemicals. Well it sounds like I need to ride it out and see if the depression lifts in a day or two or then get back to the Dr and readjust my anti-depressant. Spring is here so the extra sunlight helps. Sleep deprivation is a bummer. But as they say...nobody ever died from lack of sleep. Thanks for all of your kind words. It's glad to know I'm not the only one - sortamental you sound like you took them like I did. One was never enough...
Yes, I took several 2mg pills a day; combined with somas, oxys and whatever else I could get prescribed for me. When one would run out, I would juggle the others. Ugle cycle. Xanax was also my DOC whenever I tried to commit suicide. They are really bad for me. Really bad.
