The neighbor I've taken for ECT twice now told me he went through 30 1mg Xanax in two days. That's Michael Jackson level benzo abuse. I knew he had a problem as he's always trying a new scheme to get his refills early but I had NO idea it was that bad. I am glad I never told him I take it myself... I guess it shows we're all different... I am just thinking wtf? Sometimes my prescribed dose of Xanax makes me sleepy. If I consumed more than that I'd just fall asleep. He also goes to more than one doctor for his scripts. One of these days he's gonna get in trouble and I told him he should get help... before I learned how bad his problem was. I guess this might be part of why many docs avoid Xanax... patients like my neighbor. Poor guy needs rehab and a long slow Valium taper probably. Not going to get too involved and will hide my meds if he's ever in my house again.
