I was prescribed xanax for anxiety and I was supposed to take .25 mg every 8 hours or as needed, a lot of times I would skip it cause I wasn't abusing it at all. I'd skip taking them for a while, day-day and half sometimes. I didnt think I had anxiety but was like what the hell ill give it a shot. Over a few weeks of taking it as prescribed I became tired all the time, all I wanted to do was sleep. It ended up making me feel crazy depressed one day and I was like whoa not good so I stopped taking them, I had noticed before just skipping days I would feel dependant and get agitated and mean. Just from those few weeks to maybe a month of taking them I went through some shitty fuckn withdraws. I was like WTF. I felt my skin burning, couldn't sleep, sweaty, felt sick, agitated, wanted to rip my skin off, couldn't fuckn sit still, when laying down my feet were restless. All that pissed me off but made me really wanna get through it and not take another and fall back into that trap
It's shitty stuff if you ask me but I don't do drugs really either anymore I used to party like crazy but now its an occassional thing and I've never been an opiate user really, tried some pills, blew some H. It was ok. Never really got stuck on anything you know. I would say I'm definitely a recreational user and not an addict but yea those things are some dirty little fuckn pills, watch out they'll getchya, it was really difficult to stop. Took about 3-5 days before I knew I had it beat but the shit still fuckn bothered me for like 2 weeks, seriously. And I'm like fuckn beastmode

I didn't say weak willed, I don't think of it that way at all. Lots of very strong willed people try to outrun their karma all the time. But the fact is you can't take those meds forever, even if you are gonna be on them for the rest of your life at the hour of death you can't take them with you. And in my opinion, the hour of death is a very important period of time

Well after this life I'll have plenty of new things to pacify my wild bipolar nature.
Back on-topic, I think the instructions on pills like benzos and most opiates are vague. "Take 1-2 every 2-4 hours as needed for x" means "Take 1-2 pills when you feel you need them, but wait 2-4 hours before taking more."
My doctor got mad at me for breezing through my first Xanax scrip because I was taking one pill every 4-6 hours. One scrip is supposed to last the average anxiety patient at least a month if not more. Even if you only need to take one a day, that's way too often, and the doctor (if he knows what he's doing) will switch you over to a drug that's meant to generally calm you down like a mild antipsychotic instead of something so easily abused as benzos.

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.
People like you are the reason people with genuine mood and personality disorders don't seek treatment and end up spiraling out of control.
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.
I agree on not taking these things. I went in to the ER and was basically force fed these things, I didn't want them, they convinced me my very real problems were anxiety and for me to take these pills. Now that I have INSURANCE and have had more specific tests ran I find out my thyroids hyper and adrenal gland is all screwy to. Which I'm cool with, I don't even give a shit.just get me fixed up you know. I see the endocrinologist beggining of may. Finally a means to an end.
It's funny how without insurance you get force fed a script of xanax when you don't even want the shit though

I think a script to benzos would help me out a lot. But I like them, and drinking, too much to have them around all the time.

Medicine, like any other science, follows the principle of Occam's Razor. The simplest answer is usually the right one, and if your major organs appear to be functioning properly yet you're about to stroke out/have a heart attack and you're anxious as hell, a panic attack is the simplest answer.
Even if it was because you're hyperthyroid and your body releases too much epinephrine (adrenaline), the benzos were the best treatment short-term so you didn't die on them. What did you want them to do, hit you over the head with a baseball bat until you sat still enough for them to run some tests?
Besides, considering the nature of hyperthyroid and adrenal conditions, you probably seemed fine after the episode was over and the benzos were out of your system, so why did they have any reason to question the diagnosis of an acute panic attack? Hospital doctors are usually way too busy to run a shit-ton of tests on an uninsured man who seems fine after a simple treatment worked.

Dude take that shit somewhere else. I didn't need benzos. They couldn't even find out what was wrong cause they wouldn't run the tests so they blindly gave me benzos saying its anxiety when I have actual physical things going on inside me that they were unaware of.
They didnt give me the benzos in the hospital either, just wrote a script. I was calm and even got pissed cause the mfkrs giving me looks like I'm fuckn nuts or some shit. Every nurse except for one kid I new was all like well its probably anxiety and I'm like yea I hope so. But I was cool as shit. Just was like yo I got this and this wrong and wanted to feel better. I wasn't scared like a little bitch or anything
And I'm the type of person to take death head on with a wicked evil grind laughing is that all you got with a death clinch ripping flesh til the very end. The shit wasn't anxiety.
I didn't even know what this was. And no I'm still not fine and its going on 10 months, daily I deal with this shit depending on what I eat since its most likely a metabolism thing.
But like I said before, m beast mode yo. Why the fuck you standing up for the pharm? And quack docs with a half ass hypothesis to how they were treating me. Bold statement my friend
I know what they thought. They ran basic blood tests. Didn't see anything wrong. Thought hey this kids a spaz, all vitals are good, he must have a little anxiety thing going, they even told me it was probably anxiety and gave me Benzos. I'm the dumb one for giving them a chance.

Benzos can help greatly for people with serious anxiety disorders... But it is NOT meant for long term use. I have seen the very best, but eventually the very worst side of xanax. It helped me get over some major social issues... If I would have stopped using them after gaining those tools, it would have been god-send... But it didnt work out that way and Im paying for it now

I'm standing up for them because they did their job and the dose of benzos probably saved your life.
The basic blood test they ran was probably a tox screen to rule out an amphetamine overdose or any other toxin that could cause your heart rate to spike like that.
Be beast mode all you want, but you're probably "one of those high-powered mutants" if you really are like that, and living life with yours as a model would be suicide for most people.

Lol dude they didn't give me benzos while I was there, you need to stop while your ahead for real, I even asked them if I could have a sample before i left and the nurse left came back and said have this filled and take them as needed. 
Heart rate was fine to when I was in there, all vitals were pretty norm. You don't know what your talking about your just assuming and you know what they say about people who make assumptions. Just sayin.
And they ran more then just a tox screen,lol. They ran electrolytes, glucose. White, red all the good shit. I'm sure they ran a tox but I wasn't even smoking pot at the time, not even nicotine.

Can you blame me for thinking it was an isolated incident?

I said shits been goin on ten months dude lol, its cool man. And a script of xanax would last longer then a day I'd think.
Whatever it is its getting better not worse thats all that matters. I just gotta keep eating or I get crazy before was opposite, couldn't eat or I got fucked up. I see the endocrinologist beginning of may, so thats cool.
I just didn't appreciate the depression and benzo withdrawl while dealing with other very real symptoms. I'm good tho dude I jog long distances, used to fight mma, I doubt ill stroke or have a heart attack you know.
Either way that's why I'm against xanax, the withdrawl sucked for how long I barely took them and the depression it gave me was bad.
