So, i'll start with a brief history of my xanax usage. I have definitely had my fair share of issues with this drug, but i'm still in love with it.
I've actually gone as far as developing a very bad seizure disorder from my usage. I was taking in amounts of 10 bars a day at one point. (atleast 20mg)
I have wrecked cars and pretty much just threw away $13,000 cash being that i only had it for a month.
I know enough about this drug to understand that you HAVE to taper off, especially me already having epilepsy before ever experimenting with alprazolam.
Being addicted as long as i was, i know quite a bit about it, but now i would like to learn the things that actually matter.
I know i will probably get shit for posting this, but i am also willing to admit that yes, i have been to rehab twice for this, it has not been the easiest for me to quit obviously,
so please do not leave rude comments, as i am clearly seeking assistance and suggestions to be done once and for all.
Questions;
Now, i would greatly appreciate it if someone could answer this for me, i just relapsed after getting out of rehab and being sober for a month, i took 8mg. I currently have 40mg in the blue 1mg footballs.
If i am seeking to quit this drug, what is a SAFE amount to start tapering down with, and how long would i need to do so? I have accepted that i MUST be done with it this time, or i will more than
likely die in the next year with all of the stupid stunts i've pulled while under the influence. This was a slip up, and i regret it deeply, i truly thought i had conquered it this time.
How long is the half-life of xanax, and it seems like everyone has a different definition for this, or some people i have talked to about this question have been incorrect, What is YOUR definition of a half-life?
Please and thank-you for any suggestions the great members of blue-light can provide.
UPDATE: Would it be a good idea for me to seek a doctor and inform him that i need to taper off benzodiazepines if i get to using again, and if so,
wouldn't it be kind of an issue because of the time it takes to get in to see a doctor?
