At night I'm pretty stressed. My job is very stressful and I am on oxy a good amount (240+ mg /day) .

I've been taking xanax every night for 3 weeks. I have the 2 mg bars and I'm taking a quarter of a bar every night. so thats .5mg. That means that each bar is like 4 doses. That makes these things last forever. lol

Is there a danger for addiction at this rate? It seems like so little to me, but it works so well in just un stressing me. I wish it the same with oxy where just a little bit did the job, but it's not.

I was reading that xanax has a short half life so if there's enough time in between uses like 11+ hours chances are low to an addiction. I saw that valium has a 50 hour half life and if your older than even longer. So valium is not good for trying to stay un addicted.

If I do develope an addiction to such a small amount it shouldn't be that hard to stop,,, right?
 
Taper off the xanax now in my opinion. Ive been on 0.75 mg for 14 years and its very hard to even taper slowly off of for me and thats not even 1 mg. Im not addicted I dont crave it and never abused it but my body is dependent on it now and its a daily struggle
 
your worried about becoming addicted, how about worrying about your current addiction...not to be a dick

Thanks that's what I needed to hear.
I think you worry too much.

That's again,

I am also a junkie.

So take that how you will..

That's what I thought. It's only a little bit.

Oh , so don't worry about this. Right on. I'll just keep using this xanax and just focus on my current thing I'm addicted to, great advice.
 
Haha funny how bad the last advice is, when you're addicted to one thing it can be really easy to slip into another addiction.
