Addicted to as, was addicted to sleeping pills for years, but got tired of upping the dosage to sleep.
Alcohol & AR I never had an alcoholic beverage from 18-42 not even a drop. Now when I party on weekends, im ok until i start drinking it on the rocks and then there is no return I just want to keep on going.
Im obsessive compulsive. All or none. I at 0 now because Im trying to get my body in tip top shape.
Interestng about the Xanax, my son takes it for anxiety. Didn't know it was addicting. :scratch:
Yea, Xanax withdrawl is supposed to be way worse than opiate type withdrawls, since it messes with your nervous system really bad. I had a friend who was addicted to xanax and he quit, but he had to just cut back then each week cut back more until he was down to 1 bar a day. Afterwards he still went through some w/d but not near as bad if he would have just quit cold turkey. Doctors told him it wasnt a good idea to just quit cold turkey or he might end up in a hospital anyway.
Cold turkey is not the intelligent way to come off drugs like xanax or opiates. There can be seizures, blood pressure complications, and a host of other problems.

i find this very hard tovbelieve. opiate withdrawls are legensdary for being the worst, and are one of the few that can outright kill you from the withdrawl alone. it's hard to be "way worse" than dead.Quote:
