...It seems you most likely have an anxiety disorder and although it was probably exacerbated by the benzodiazepines I disagree with this on more level then one, but firstly on a philosophical level, being that anxiety is fed by thinking about it and things like this. it still has lingered in you despite your honorable abstinence A non-proper taper can cause things to seem like they could possibly linger, but don't think like this, it's stupid. To clarify however, you definitely are NOT feeling withdrawals you don't know that but you're having major anxiety episodes for the first time since your usage,I wouldn't call them major or create any extra attention to things which shouldn't be. creating an equally challenging scenario. I would encourage seeking professional help and perhaps starting on other, less abusable medication. Ahh, sack up and get it together. Good luck tho I know how rough it can get with anxiety but just know that taking a pill will only make things worse, keep up with the exercise tho sounds like you've been doing everything right so far <3
I am taking my new XR xanax BY THE BOOK, so if anyone has 1st hand experience with crushing (and taking) an XR pill, please let me know how this worked out. Preferably, I would like advice from someone who knows their reaction to xanax very well and doesn't have a huge tolerance (or knows how to account for it).
The bottle of XR says do not crush or chew. My doc said something like "the release mechanism of xanax XR is not like that of OC, so you can't abuse them." Is it possible that crushing the pill only slightly destroys the time release mechanism instead of almost entirely destroying it like that in oxy? A friend of mine took crushed a 2mg pill and reported poor results compared to a regular 2mg xanax bar. Unfortunately this kid doesn't understand all the factors involved in the effectiveness of xanax, so he could have eaten a full meal just before he took the crushed pill for all I know.
I think my doc was completely feeding me a line about the XR xanax not being worthy of abuse by crushing (he even mentioned not snorting it, but duh...). Obviously, my xanax dosing habits were in question before I got the script today. I just want to know if I can crush a 2mg XR pill and get nearly the same immediate up and down effects of IR xanax (dosage = ?)Thanks for your help. I really want and need to take my meds by the book, so I can't run an empirical test. Any pharmacists out there? Thanks a lot.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but some of the drug can end up being stored in fat cells and during detox saunas, hot showers, exercise is encouraged to sweat it out. Have you stepped up your workout? Maybe your body is eliminating what's in those fat cells now?
Guys, I didn't express myself correctly. Im well aware the anxiety comes back. I have OCD on paper and I seriously think I have GAD. But that's okay, I can live with that as I've done in over 10 years. The weird thing is, the symtoms of Benzo withdrawal has come back last weeks. Tinnitus, dizzy vision, stiff neck, sleeping disturbances etc. and it scaring the shit out of me. Im thinking what if all these months was for nothing because I ate something bad etc. I've read about waves/setbacks that its normal for recovering but how exacly does that work?
It wasn't made up by me. Saunas/gyms were implemented in two top rehabs I went to. And I'm sober. What do you have to contribute to answer the question?Your wrong. That is completely fictional and I don't see how so many people on this forum just make shit up off the top of their heads.. oh wait, drugs.
