Wow, finally I've found someone who has walked a mile in my shoes.
I was actually PRESCRIBED 24mgs/day of Xanax for 4 years while I was heavily addicted to Oxycodone. This psychiatrist knew I was on roughly 600mg of Oxycodone per day yet started me on 5mg Xanax a day and worked me up to 24mg without me even asking to increase. By 10mg a day I was just a zombie seeing her every week and she would just increase the dose and I was so fucked up off the oxy and xan combined that I didn't really notice. Long story short I overdosed 5 times in 2 weeks requiring intubation and the 5th time pronounced dead on scene, luckily the intubation had me breathing by the end of the driveway.
The 5th time they certified me to the psych ward for 60 days. This was interesting as once I was stabilized, my doctor came into my lock down chamber with two nurses and told me to create my own tapering schedule using Valium to taper off the Xanax and Oxycontin to taper off of the OxyContin (which I thought was awesome). I tapered off 600mg of oxy per day and 24mgs of Xanax per day in 45 days and by day 55 I was feeling pretty good.
Anyways, enough about me, I just felt I needed to share my story with you as I have never actually come in contact with another human being that has taken the same amount of benzos that I have. Going through 100x2mg Klon in a week was like my specialty, I thought I was invincible.
The key here is that you CAN do it. Just listen to the doctors at the hospital. I pray that you find a good doctor like the one I had because if you end up with a stickler he is just going to frustrate and fuck you up even more because you'll just leave and relapse.
My suggestion would definitely be to hit the emergency room as soon as you start feeling withdrawals and have run out of mess though man. I have had the seizures, I have gone cold turkey, and I would not wish that on my worst enemy. Xanax is literally the worst drug to come off of in the entire world and I don't care what anybody says. I was climbing the fucking walls bro and you will be to, but just remember that you CAN do it. I promise. You CAN do it.
Feel free to pm me if you want to talk as I feel you and I are quite alike.
Hope you find a way out of this brother.
