Answer #1

yes..I am on xanax, but i only take one when i have a severe panic attack. I am a recovering addict and let me say anything is possible. i was addicted to a substance and it RUINED my life. It took away all my friends I stole I lost my car my house EVERYTHING. BUT now I have my own place and a new car, but I have a record for passing bad checks and I have a PAST> im lucky cause im in drug court getting the charge off my record but others arent so lucky… Please Please get help… I beg anyone who thinks they have a problem to get help ASAP. You can look online or even in the phone book. At least talk to someone you can trust if you have anyone. I didnt I hid it… Life can be so hard and we want to run away but we cant. Im just learing that all over again..And I wasted alot of time not dealing… Im here for you if you need someone to talk to!!!

Asking for help is the first step to your recovery.

Talk to your mother and explain to her that you feel you are addicted to the Xanax and you need help in overcoming this addiction. Most likely, you will need the assistance of medical professionals to guide you and help you and you can overcome this.

my mom isn’t a part of the picture in my life my dad is and i dont want to put anymore stress on him cause he’s already had mulitiple heartattacks

Answer #4

If you are addicted to Xanax you will probably need to slowly go off it. If you try to go “cold turkey” you could experience seizures, dimentia, or even death. A medically supervised detox program is your best bet.

Marajuana is not physically addictive like Xanax but if you have come to depend on it to get through the day it can still be a hard habit to break.

good luck!
