Got a prescription for Xanax yesterday
    #14256501 - 04/08/11 12:02 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Cross-posting from ODD because ODD is currently pretty dead, The Pub is a different group, and I'm high on opiates:

Got it from my new GP. Was only my second visit. The prescription is for 30 0.25mg pills, 2 a day as needed. Just enough to make it to my next appointment. Not sure if he's going to continue prescribing it. He'd prefer to put me on an SSRI, but I'm extremely resistant to that idea. I'm also going to try and get him to switch me to Klonopin, with the help of my new psychologist. I feel like Klonopin relieves anxiety just as well as Xanax and is substantially less debilitating. I really do have bouts of anxiety. I'm honestly not trying to abuse benzos. I'm really glad I might be able to have a regular benzo script. Just wanted to share because I'm pretty happy about it and I'm really not planning on abusing them. I think having benzos on hand could potentially improve my quality of life. To make this thread worthwhile, what do you guys think about Xanax vs. Klonopin? Which would you rather have for treatment of legitimate anxiety?

If your going to take the regularly, lay off the alcohol.
They don't mix together very well. Unless your trying to get crunk and forget what happened.

Be careful with them thangs.

You think? I dunno. I don't really plan on taking benzos daily, just as needed. If I don't take them every day, do you still think I shouldn't take it long?

Seriously though, xanax will make you do thangs you don't remember and never wanted to do when you combine it with copious quantities of alcohol.
beeeee careful my friend.

I intend to be :yesnod: I don't really abuse benzos. They don't do all that much for unless I actually have anxiety to relieve.

Take about 5mgs of Alprazolam and it WILL do all that much,
Such as but not limited to :
-Retrograde amnesia
-Impulsive behavior
-Violent outburst
-Extreme emotional numbness
-Relationship disturbances (again can be extreme)

(wow didn't mean to make that an acronym for R.I.V.E.R., thats weird)

And these are just what high doses of ALP. have PERSONALLY done to me at times, and i have witnessed anecdotally.

Any thoughts on Xanax vs. Kpin? Which would you rather have for legitimate anxiety? I'm planning on asking my doctor to switch me to Kpin because I feel it's less debilitating than Xanax.

Yeah. I really feel like they're not debilitating. I can take 0.25-0.5mg of kpin and relieve almost all of my anxiety and not feel all that groggy or stupid. At the time, I didn't say anything because I was afraid if I let my doctor know that I know what I'm talking about, I would sound like a drug seeker and he's be more hesitant to give me a script. But I talked to my psychologist about it today and he thought it'd be fine to let him know that I know what I'm talking about and have a preference with reasons. My psychologist knows the GP and he said he'd get a release form for me to sign next time and would talk to my GP about the switch.

Klonopins last longer and aren't as debilitating as Xanax can be. When I was on Xanax for panic attacks/mood swings, a couple of those fuckers could put me in la-la land, but on the K-pins, I sometimes randomly take like 5 and go off doing random shit (but remember the next morning).

If you're prone to doing stupid, psychotic things in your normal state of being, I'd be careful with benzos. Thankfully, I only do that reckless shit when I've shifted all the way to one pole or the other, so eating a bunch out of pure boredom has always felt good man.

My last suicide attempt involved 30mg of klonopin, though. I believe that part of the attempt is why I don't remember a goddamned bit of it.

Every time you have an anxiety attack, give it a little time to pass before popping the Xanax.  If I needed Xanax, I would make it a point to meditate for a few minutes before taking one to make sure I really needed it.

congrats you're a pussy who can't deal with normal everyday feelings

just think about how much more your anxiety is going to suck once you decide to get off those things. it is a bad, bad cycle.

but when you're on the wrong side of those feelings they manifest in much worse ways which is why some people's problems with anxiety are much more debilitating than other's.  But yeah, evvvvverybody gets anxiety.  Still, I remember at other points in my life anxiety really debilitated me.  I didn't take drugs tho...idk how much worse it can get for other people, however.

People like you are the reason people with genuine mood and personality disorders don't seek treatment and end up spiraling out of control.

i'm bein an ass because i've seen the serious shit that can happen to people who get a benzo script for legit reasons. it is not the answer to anxiety problems. it is a temporary solution that will come back to bite you in the ass one way or another, even if you keep your dosage under control.

i would honestly say taking PK's every day is less damaging to your psyche in the long run.

i do not support drugs for treating mental health in almost any form.

by all means seek help. don't be the stereotypical american and look for a pill to solve your problems though. it's about life changes.

Yeah, taking pills for anxiety sort of is trying to outrun your karma.  Which is completely fucking impossible.

I have bipolar disorder and without my meds I can barely manage to keep from going batshit insane.

It has nothing to do with karma or being weak-willed :rolleyes:
