But you realize, after that withdrawal, it's like something broke. I hate it. I hate the Xanax. I hate being dependent it and other medications. I hate tolerance, escalation, side-effects, withdrawals. I fear it.
You are probably right, of course, about the Xanax. But I take maybe 30mg of Tenazapam at night. That equals about about 2mg. of Xanax right there. Add 2 more mg of Xanax as the new, post-withdrawal maintence, and I am way past my pre-withdrawal dose of 1.5mg of Xanax (plus the 'z' meds). You can probably see why I am
unhappy.Most days now, when I take the Tenazapam at night, I forgo the a.m. 1mg. Xanax XR. It gets dicey by late afternoon. But I really try and stick it out.
When it's time for script renewal, I will talk to him about .5mg pills to avoid the interdose effect. My anxiety is high. I'm getting used to it being at a new level.
I dig a pony.
