Does this site also include things like withdrawal from benzodiazapines (xanax)?

11. I am here writing this...because of witdrawal from benzodiazapines....it was 2006

Halloween. October 31,..It was awful, lasts about a week, then improves gradually. Didn't sleep for 2 days, but gradually started sleeping. 2 or 3 hours..then longer. I remember after a week or so, my mind cleared up. I was driving my car much better, far more aware of other cars...(I had gotten into 3 accidents while taking Benzos...(none since 2006)

...PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP.... are you taking half a pill, 3 times a day now? Yes, or No?

If you are taking half a pill, 3 times a day today..you may be going through withdrawal, but you are not off completely yet. Be sure to contact your doctor while you do this. Withdrawal is very difficult, but doable.

......Just don't give up Yes, Zanax is as addictive as booze, or hard drugs. (at least benzos were for me,..took them for 20 years.) Functioned much better after quitting. Hadn't traveled much, but took a trip to Japan about 8 months after quitting.. That trip was wonderful, and it changed my life in a positive way. I wouldn't have been able to go if I was on that stuff. Keep in touch with your doctor.. and, also..

Very important, go to AA meetings, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Most meetings take people Zanax withdrawal. Just say you are trying to get off prescription drugs which are addictive. Most people in AA understand that.
