Has Anyone Had Any Experience With Withdrawal From Xanax?
Question by Ready for change: Has anyone had any experience with withdrawal from Xanax?
I have been taking Xanax for about 5 yeasr, i have withdran from it last year, and i was so happy, but now i started taking it again, even though a small dosage it is addictive. I want to stop taking this poison, i found this fantastic site www.benzo.org.uk, that is also a support group and advises on slow tapering by using valium. My biggest concern is finding a doctor In Toronto, that will prescribe this for me, and is benzo educated and is willing to help. Most docotors just prescribe and do not know how it feels when you take them or stop taking them. It is a drug that posions you and your brains i know all the side effects and can feel them. I just need proffesional help, but cannot find it yet, since i am new to Canada and do not have health insurance yet. Hoping to get help on locating a good psyciatrist in toronto. I located many, but most told me thay do not work with medications.??? Where do i go???
Just to explain, i am taking 0,25 mg of xanax twice a day. So how do i cut it off! Doctors on this website suggest it is better to taper it off with Valium because it is more smoother and has a longer life!

Why Is Alcoholism Considered a Disease, but Not Smoking? Are Food Addicts Considered Diseased?
Question by nunuvyobizniz: Why is alcoholism considered a disease, but not smoking? Are food addicts considered diseased?
Why would alcoholism not just be called an addiction like smoking or doing drugs? And if doing drugs is obviously worse and illegal than smoking, then why don’t we just call smoking a crutch? Or why don’t we call all smoking and drug addiction a disease as well? So, would food addicts also be considered diseased? Because it can be just as dangerous. Who made up these rules as to what’s a disease, what’s a crutch, and what’s an addiction?
Best answer:
Answer by Ginny Jin
well a disease is something that is spread or contagious or causes infection. Alcoholism is more of an illness.
Answer by raysny
Alcoholism became a disease only because the AMA voted it to be a disease at the urging of Marty Mann, former PR woman who successfully made Alcoholics Anonymous the favored method of treatment in the US.
