Dear baseball55,
I'm only trying to help you, but I can understand your preference not to face the fact that you're a drug addict, to put it frankly.
Just like heroin addicts, there are probably very few people addicted to benzodiazepines (such as you are) who realize their addiction and the necessity to seek professional help in a withdrawal program.>I am not addicted (though I am physically dependent) and I do not abuse xanax.
You see what I mean, baseball55?! You haven't made the first and most important step yet to acknowledge that you ARE indeed addicted to Xanax.
And yes, you ARE abusing this substance to get high which is NOT acceptable both in society as a whole and in medicine and jurisprudence in particular.>Over the last three years on parnate, I have tried dozens of drugs to deal with devastating insomnia and xanax works.
Like a typical drug addict, you are merely posting EXCUSES for continuing the abuse of Xanax, baseball55.
I'm sure you know very well that there are TONS of non-addictive sleeping aids on the legal market. For example, you'll find good old Benadryl in every well-sorted supermarket, it causes drowsiness and sleepiness and is used by millions to counteract insomnia. There is ABSOLUTELY NO medical indication for taking Xanax as a sleeping aid EVERY NIGHT FOR OVER A YEAR as you are doing.If what I think you are into, namely that you're doctor shopping for Xanax for the purpose of getting high, then you're in deep trouble, baseball55. This substance is listed as a schedule IV drug and its abuse CAN get you at least five years in prison if law enforcement catches on to you. I've seen documentaries on what's going on in jails and believe me: You wouldn't want to be locked up for even one night...
>For someone who abuses steroids and lies to your docs, you have a lot of nerve.
I neither abuse steroids as you falsely claim, nor do I lie to my docs. It seems you're so drugged with Xanax that you've lost the ability to read and comprehend -- which again shows how urgent it is for you to undergo medically supervised detoxification.
I'm including you in my prayers, baseball55, and perhaps Jesus will lead your lost soul back on the right track.
