I have barely slept in two nights because I have recently gone cold turkey off of my xanax. I was taking 2 - 3mg a day and I have been prescribed it for years off and on. I can't sleep or eat... I have a horrible headache... Last night I drank rum and cough medicine just to clear my head. Tonight I smoked some pot but I can't sleep still. I just feel so nauseous. I'm hoping this will pass like it has the last couple of times when I have gotten to the point where I run out of my medication and can't get a refill. I feel ****in crazy and then when I get over the withdrawal I wonder why the hell I ever went on xanax to begin with and then a month or so later I'm taking it on a regular basis with the assumption that I'm just going to take it one time.. but it turns into every day somehow. Wish this could stop.... goin through hell right now. Wow I sound so ****ing self absorbed.
