Adderall/ Xanax

[Mpivko2]

Does anyone have any advice or experience with trying to get off of these two drugs. I have been abusing my adderall prescription for about 2 years now. Some days I was taking 120 mg a day until it made me so crazy I was hallucinating from lack of sleep. Several months ago I discovered the miracle cure of Xanax and now need at least 3 bars just to fall asleep even if I don't take adderall. I'm out of Xanax now and have to try to stop cold turkey but the anxiety is so unbearable and not being able to sleep on top of that.

Quitting benzos cold turkey is dangerous. Tapering down is the way to go if you don't want to risk seizures. You haven't been on for very long,(how long is several 3 or 4 maybe??)but 6 mg. is also quite a high alprazolam dose.

Even if you're not at seizure risk(which is hard to say for sure), tapering will be 50x more comfortable, c.t. benzo withdrawal is torture, don't put yourself through it if you don't have to!!

Agree with this^^^

The Adderall fucks with your seizure threshold- meaning it can allow you to more easily have a seizure. Benzo withdrawal is notorious for making some people seize up. You CANNOT take the Adderall in benzo withdrawal. I mean, you can, but chances of seizing would be enormous- you'd be asking for it basically.

That being said, detoxing off of benzos cold turkey at such dosages is highly dangerous and COULD lead to death/ seizures. This is a medical emergency and you need to the ER or see a doctor ASAP.
