Hey Dr. H. It's been done. Stoopid drugs.
I have taken xanax, but coming down from them is so hard. I get addicted very easily to that and valium, so i avoid them. The day I will stop taking them I get dt's for like 5 days, shakes, sweating and leg and back pains, plus I totally short cycle, crying and getting irate at the drop of a hat. Every time I take them I can look forward to these reactions when I stop.
My dentist prescribed me xanax for the day before and day of any appointment when he has to do drilling, but the anxiety of going off xanax afterwards is always in the back of my mind.
I can't take zoloft because I get suicidal and start cutting myself. I feel like I'm jumping out of my skin, and I go back to my self-injuring tendencies!! My doc tried upping the dose but I broke out in hives. I am a wreak with those meds, really.
