It's been 10 months ago that i took my last Xanax. And to be honest with everyone, it's never been a picnic in the park. First, I went cold turkey. The wrong thing to do, but I never knew that I had to taper my dosage. The doctor that prescribed it to me never gave me any info at all. But I don't think he knew either. And to be fair, he was a good doctor like many, and I don't think that he read what the withdraw synthoms were for this very bad drug.
It was given to me for sleep and sleep alone, had very bad neighbors next door that would wake me up just about every night. After 1 1/2 years on this bad drug, I stumbled down the stairs. And bingo, this lead me to read about this drug. Well, I don't have to tell you what I read, everyone knows. Not a wonderful drug at all. From my perspective, don't really think that this should be on the market at all. Back to the story. After the 1 1/2 years on this fake pick me up pill, I just couldn't deal with it any more. So, Cold Turkey, what I read and how I felt, was enough for me to stop that day. Here we go. The first week, well, everyone that went cold turkey knows the withdraw synthoms that come with terror. Please excuse the jumping around, hit kind of hard this week with synthoms. But will get threw this story for you. As the weeks go by, just a little better. After two months, started to get better.
Aches and pains started to leave my body, and the foggy mind of mine was starting to see the light at the end of the long tunnel. But this comes and goes. Well threw the months, everything that you could imagine, withdraw synthoms come and go. But they do subside with every month. So hang in there, your time will come soon, and you will start to feel better. You just have to get over the hump. And for me, I never even thought about taking another pill to fill the void, never. Just wanted the poison out of my mind and body.
Back to story, months went by, and forgot to tell you, tinnitus, shows up, and not good at all. Hissing and ringing all the time. This was not good for me, as I have a Recording Studio, and this messed my hearing up very much, with other things to, like concetration, alertness and interests of music. We will skip ahead now. Almost 10 months here, and going strong. Riding my bike 5 miles a day, this helps very much, but the last week its been to cold, so no riding and I don't have to tell you what happened. Withdraws back, and came back to hault me more. So, have to work out to keep the synthoms to a very low effect. This way I can tolerat it for the rest of the period my body fixes it self.
Sorry for jumping around, but my brain is scrambled right now, lol. But getting better as time goes by. I will try to write more in a week or so. But remember hang in there, the out come will be great for you and everyone who is recovering.
Thanks for the ear
Rocket.
