Question by Fred: Xanax or benzo alternative?
Been drinking booze for 15 years, depression and lack of motivation have been a longtime norm. I bought a street drug Xanax to help my gf sleep in our new RV, she wanted a painkiller but what I found were called “planks” she disliked the effects and only likes nyquil. so far, I have taken it maybe 10 times in the past 4 months, 1/4 -1/2 of 2 mg, a few times a month. I found that when I take the Xanax within 30 minutes, I am instantly sleepy, and sleep so deep, and so hard, the next day, when I wake up, i am wonderfully recharged and feel like a millionaire. The effect isn’t a “high” so to speak, because I cant stay awake, but more like, a reboot, or restart. The deepest sleep since childhood, it is wonderful. Here’s the thing………..these after effects, (the next day) are so motivating and refreshing, over time I slowly cut back on drinking, and stopped altogether on 11/20, because taking ANY AMOUNT of the pill with routine alcohol exaggerated hangover symptoms giving me horrible cluster headaches and a general feeling of overall misery, my body wanted deep hard sleep over alcohol, it took a few times to figure it out, I could still function but, I didnt feel the “millionaire effect”. I give credit to knowing that these pills were in reach, to stave off the alcohol cravings and withdrawls. I ve lost weight, eat better, exercise, stopped smoking (3 weeks), have more energy, my bank account is testimony and proof to it all
I found out what Xanax “planks” were about a week ago and all about its addictive history, and how its changes the brain. I became very worried and went to the doctor and told him the truth. I told him to give me a prescription for it 1 or 2 pills a month so that I didn’t have to buy them on the street and chance abuse, and he said very firmly “no way!” and i have very firmly, respected his opinion, I have not taken anymore of the benzo Xanax drug since, I still have them but everyone and everything is against my using the drug, I am very disappointed. Something that helps, so very much, is so very bad. 🙁 And I was proud of myself too. I do not consider myself addicted to Xanax at this point, (I can sleep without it) but I will miss feeling like a million bucks in the morning when I take it.
I refuse to drink now given all my progress, I get angry easily, and sweaty all of a sudden and really crave booze for no reason at least once daily after work, it goes away after dinner and I can control it. I dont like that feeling without knowing Xanax is that bad and out of reach. I see where and why alcoholics fail at recovery now. I refuse to give up. Doc gave me trazodone 200 mg, but it does not hold a candle to, 1/4 of a Xanax. I will not allow trading addictions to happen.    Read more...

Question by ?? ??koalatee: would rehab deal with a benadryl/Xanax addiction?
a part of me feels stupid for asking. lately I’ve been having suicidal thoughts but have opted out of going to the hospital because I don’t know if they will help taper me off of benadryl (the bigger problem than Xanax, surprisingly), or make me quit cold turkey. I’ve begun withdrawal from this medication before, and it’s the single-most terrifying thing. I don’t want to be heaving and vomiting on the psych unit.
not funny. I really need help.

They might. They may put you on a different medication that works the same but not as addictive
