very low dose? infrequent use? temporary surgical or colonoscopy 'knock-out'---? ok---but that's very few in tens of millions. xanax, unlike other benzos, increase DHEA plasma levels---muscle-builders use it for this. you feel great. strong. i know, been there---i'm the best example you may present--'cardiac sphinter damage', inoperable and a chronic cause of 'life-threatening panic', by that i mean panic terminating in convultions, killing asthma, immobile in terror for hours, ekg's wild--- touch my body, feels as grabbing a vibrator. and you know panic? i have several issues with your base of data. 1st, casual users tend to tolerance and become more frequent users. that's a fact. 2nd, i have an 'addictive personality', although many studies call that myth. i smoke. but that has nothing to do with either 'hiatal hernia' or 'cardiac sphincter' damage. those medical conditions are known to be directly involved in panic. i am 'cleared' for life on benzos. i don't want them. for instance, you're an IT? were you on xanax when studying, or getting your work? if you were not, you may regrettably, given enough time, find those very skills 'somehow' vanishing. and to finish on 'addictive personality'---i assure you, daily use---from a month or more---you'll discover you are addicted. personality or not. this is commonly known. should i retract, even with pysical injury causing panic, retreat from warning potential 'accidental addicts', even if You Think you may handle it? no way! very few may use this drug family safely. some may. they don't concern me. it's john stuart mills, or kant's 'categorical imperative'---the greatest good for the greatest number. that concerns me.
3rd---DHEA elevation from xanax promotes tumor growth. you'd best have semi-annual exams, certainly digital and PSA tests done. hope you understand my position and reasoning. regards
