in a fog

[imfoggy]

i was taking xanax .025 three times a day for around six months.i started forgetting stuff in about the third months of taking this drug. at first i did not put much weight in it. but after another three months i was in bad shape. i could not concentrate, i was confused, i would forget where i was going, or what i was picking  up at the store, it is madding.my husband has to remind me of what i am doing or getting. i  have more anxiety now.

Welcome to the benzo ahhh umm, what was I saying memory. its a great side effect dont you think?

Ashwagandha relieves anxiety. That's why I took it. It works beautifully.

So what'd you do to stop your anxiety?

[BeeFree]

I think you know what to do.
I was on antidepressants for only 2 months (on two separate occasions) and that was long enough for me to learn that the side effects aren't worth it.

Slowly get off the Xanax. Do it slowly because it is addictive. Substitute ashwagandha, an herb that relieves anxiety without side effects. It does not cause addiction.
