trilibus, testosterone---interesting. i've mentioned xanax is a popular 'street-drug' for body-builders, due to its DHEA enhancment---that boosts testosterone, but also estrogen. xanax is unique that way. before being switched, as a man over 50, to librium, i had a lot more physical energy. i'm guessing trilibus is a natural 'steroid'? as body-builders use it, like xanax. i don't think you'll get zapped by 4 mos. xanax, as long as you have a probably short taper.
DHEA is 'over-the-counter', but any male using it, or its enhancers is usually advised to a full prostate exam. these things all interact. ie., if your blood-work showed elevated PSA, you'd be yanked from DHEA, xanax, or any steroid---pronto. i certainly miss xanax, and having inoperable 'surfing-accident' neural damage, i'm the 1/million approved for life. but just as you never turn your back on a wave, unless you're me when dumb, you gotta watch hormones, steroids, supplements, drugs etc. for physical stuff as well as mental. i'm due for a physical, and if all clear, i'll asked to be switched back to xanax. i Know benzos are like that wave, i know they are incredibly dangerous---but i have a fat neve bundle crushed as a spinal injury that effects the brain's panic center. you probably don't. having experienced acute benzo withdrawal---and knowing hundreds of others who have---makes hell look kind---that's why your dr. has set that limit on xanax. i'd stick to it. real spooky is likely what you'll feel, but not nuked-pschycotic, and in the er.
