I did not want to admit to MY addiction to Xanax either, but I infact WAS addicted to them, and they WERE prescribed. Shame on my doctor!!! She kept prescribing them, and they are supposed to be ONLY for short-term use! She prescribed them to me for over a year or more!!!

I didn't take one either -- I took one WHENEVER I had a panic attack and that was VERY OFTEN. I might take 4 or 5 within 5 or 6 hours and that's way too many, plus I was an alcoholic besides! So I was taking Xanax on top of alcohol -- I could have killed myself!

Yes, I was in denial -- until I realized that I was dying from alcohol & Xanax abuse. So I got sober by going to AA. That was 19 yrs ago this past July.

You have GOT to get clean -- drugs KILL and one of these days you're going to take too many and it's going to kill you. Or else you're going to take your 4 or 5 and your heart isn't going to be able to handle it anymore. STOP NOW before you become a statistic !!! Please -- this is no joke! God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
Thanks for this!
