Go to a good doctor who isn't all about shoving drugs down your throat (hard to find) and they will get you on the right track. Keep up the exercise, diet and no drugs/drinking thing. Over time it should cure you of most of your anxiety. That's the only thing that truly healed me. I feel like the SSRI (zoloft) helped kick start my feeling good. Benzos were always just a crutch. NEVER an ultimate solution. It may take a long time to feel better, but if you keep up with a healthy life, you will get better.
I've always had considerably worse anxiety attacks on SSRIs.
But I agree with everything else you said. Drugs aren't the solution.Quote:

If that ain't the truth. When I saw a psychiatrist, she had me (daily) on 3 mg of klonopin, 300 mg of zoloft, 300 mg of seroquel, 150 mg of lamictal, 6.25 tablets of Ambien (allowed up to 2 at a time), and one other drug I can't remember. I quit that shit cold turkey and it was the worst 6 weeks of my life, but I felt 5000% better after I stopped taking all that shit.
The cunt even had the nerve to throw a box of seroquel at me then make another appointment.
Holy fuck. I'm glad you're off that cocktail now. And that the withdraws didn't kill you. Why is that drug so popular now? I first ran into Seroquel at the psych ward. Like half the people there were on it because of sleep problems. And... yeah it put them to sleep... I didn't tell them of my own sleep problems because I was already upset enough about being on zoloft. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic.

Thanks, lady! 
The doctor gave me Seroquel because the Ambien wasn't knocking me out. Lunesta made my mouth taste like I licked a stop sign. Even 300 mg of Seroquel wasn't doing it. Looking back, it was probably because of all of that other horse shit.
She told me I couldn't have xanax because I smoked weed and that made me an addict, but here...have all the klonopins you can eat. 
When I was in the hospital, there was this dude so zonked out on Seroquel, he walked around all day with his junk dangling out.

Didn't OP say he was a heroin user too?
Then like five minutes after making his initial post he is drugged out on MDMA and popping his xanax like candy?
You are a prime candidate for a benzo addiction OP.

Yeah from how OP details his drug use, I mean I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure the guy would mow down virtually any & every illegal substance you put in front of him. Without hesitating.

He is a good dude, man. It's a shitty situation, but good dude or not, he made his own bed.
I really hope he figures this shit out before it's too late for him.

I am wondering why can't we handle anxiety anymore? Did our ancestors take xanax while fighting off lions,tigers,and bears? OH MY!

I think it's a result of having too much excess energy and too much social isolation. Addicts are nothing new though, and I think some people just kinda snap and block off part of their brain without even needing drugs, which is ok as a survival tactic but ultimately stifles thinking potential.
It's a fine line and if you look at people like Einstein, Howard Hughes, or even someone like Hitler you can see that anxiety is nothing new. Everyone has their own way of coping with it, and some go on to turn their anxiety into greatness and some let it poison their whole view on life.
I think in modern society and America especially we are the product of irresponsible marketing of drugs, even up to this day. It's really fucked up when you realize that alot of pharmaceutical companies operate on the same basic principles as dealers on the street, with the main difference being that they are rich and influential enough to hire lobbyists and manipulate the government into condoning their drug sales.
I just think it would be better if people were honest and objective regarding drugs, but too often they seek to project their notions of good and evil onto them. It's a massive clusterfuck and despite us hemorrhaging resources and ruining innocent lives around the world for the purpose of prohibition that just seems to be getting worse.

This is what I think about the whole anxiety/ benzo thing.
If you wanna hide from your fears your whole life, take xanax. If you wanna make real change go out into the world. You will feel so shitty and the hair will stand up on your neck and you will want to die, but after a lot of exposure you will become to calm down and get used to it and realize it is not so bad.
You can wear a band aid all your life and run away from shit, but sooner or later you gotta rip the band aid off and let that cut heal. It will suck at first but after a while you will be glad you did it.
You can keep hiding and running away but you are gonna get worse and worse and once the band aid stops working and you have an infection you are fucked.
Like the analogy boys?

Well I don't think xanax actually works in the long term. If anything it's a good way to reach a hell on earth that you never imagined could have existed.
It's a pretty existential issue, but I think things are much more complex than that. I guess any analogy is going to lose something in translation though. I agree somewhat.
It's about balance really, which is something that people have to figure out as individuals as well as a whole. Without compassion and genuine understanding for each-other we can't achieve any sort of meaningful balance. I think a big part of it is learning to accept yourself and your own faults, and then it becomes easier to treat others the same way which does make a difference in the long run.
In my opinion the issue of drug abuse is tied to the unrealistic expectations that society has for us. It's something we learn at such a young age that it is part of our personalities, so in that sense there will always be some tension between your desire to have control over our own destiny and fulfilling the expectations that others have for us.
It's tricky because alot of times telling someone how to live their life is what will lead them to resent themselves, and not caring can do the same. I don't think being compassionate and accepting people for who they are can ever be bad so long as someone isn't posing a threat to others. When the simple fact of someone taking or not taking a drug is more important than being compassionate then the problem is only going to get worse.

In all honesty I'd be more wary of someone who didn't have panic attacks on a somewhat regular cycle. This life is a hell of a situation to find oneself in.. we're all in for a ...for quite a ride.
Op's a car crash waiting to happen. I hope he doesnt kill anyone. Hopefully he'll just wake up soaked in piss with bloody feet from walking through all the glass he smashed on the floor while fucking up his apartment in a blacked out rage..and get off easy.

I see a problem. You don't actually need them and are fooling your doctor and taking them for fun and selling them. If he found that out he would not be happy.

I genuinely believe OP has anxiety problems 
They probably have been exacerbated by drugs. And he probably doesn't need a xanax every day. And he might probably come to regret his decision. But I don't see how accusing him and calling him a fraud is going to help.

I believe he has anxiety problems, but they clearly are not bad enough that he can abuse his script for a couple days and sell the rest way.
If I were his doc and found out I would notify every doctor in the region this was going on so he could not get another script.
