I am 80 years old and have never been on medication until my blood pressure went up to 188. Dr gave blood pressure pills and xanax. I did not know what xanax was so I did not take as much as directions said. I never took it every day, sometimes three days in a row and then nothing for two or three days. This has only been a little over a month. I deceided not to take it any more and went without it for six days, what up set stomach I had, thought I was going to die. Read the directions and it said not to withdraw suddenly, which I had done. I took half a tablet and stomach settled down. I am getting off this substance. Drugest said to take half a tablet for two weeks and then half every other day for two weeks. I AM GETTING OFF THIS MEDICATION! I am so surprised that I was given this drug and upset that I took it and now cannot stop taking it when I want to. If doctors know it is so addictive why do they give it? Will let you know in a month if I have been successful in withdrawal
