Hi to all.
This is "Buckeye Fan" under a new name...I have been away so long I forgot my old password so I re-registered.I have been through some extremely stressful life events lately( havnt we all lol)....so I asked my MD to up my Zoloft to 100mg and continue my Xanax regime of 2mg's ...3 times per day.
I think the 50 mg's of Zoloft had pooped out a while ago ( 2 years)...and since I have been on Xanax since 1998...I am definetely addicted both physically and mentally.
My problem seems to be that without Xanax I cannot relax at all...and grow increasingly uncomfortable the longer I try to delay my dose.
Any ideas or success out there on how to ween off Xanax ....and then what can take its place???? The MD Doc told me that Xanax "trumphs"most other sleep meds and relaxing meds. He gave me a few sample paks of the new 'Lunesta" sleep med...but warned me that it was weaker than Xanax...and that most Benzo users at my dose and above, have trouble finding anything to take Xanax's place...anybody know WHY Xanax ( Alpralolem) is so powerful???\
Thanks in advance
BF
