I got addicted to Xanax -- it's SUPPOSED to be prescribed SHORT=TERM, meaning maybe 5-7 days, not long=-term. My doctor kept prescribiing it over and over, and i didn't know anything about the drug at the time. This was in 1993.

I got addicted big time. Then i'd had enough cause I was drinking too -- I'm lucky i didn't kill myself cause booze & Xanax don't go well. I cold-turkeyed, and THAT is extremely dangerous. And I got sober at the same time too. (booze)
