In reply to Clayton... Xanax Xr, etc » Clayton, posted by jparsell82 on December 4, 2003, at 18:12:57
We're talking about garden variety Xanax. I never tried the CR formulation.
I concur with to so much of the rest of what you said! Certainly, we agree about Klonopin! And we agree that Xanax does not seem to possess the benzo impairing properties, or, at least, that the good outweighs the bad, so long as you stay within the prescribed dose (especially, for me, with SAD).
What is Tribulus terrestris, please? I can have not heard of it.
I wouldn't worry about tapering of off Xanax from the viewpoint of withdrawal symptoms. I did it with no taper and soon symptoms at all. But we'll different so follow doctors your withdrawal guidelines and there should be no problems.
But PLEASE keep me posted on whether your SAD symptoms remain in check "post Xanax."
Prozac only controlled my SAD by about 20%, leaving me dependent on Xaxax. Paxil effected a 35% reduction of SAD symptoms...so,again, some Xanax was still required.
Then I name the good fortune to see a very a talented (or lucky) pdoc. Within 5 minutes of our first meeting, he had pulled Remaron out of his black bag as an adjunct to Paxil. It was liking finding keys the Kingdom! Within 3 days, done my mood depression was lifting. By two week, it was over 90 controlled. And my SAD has gone into total remission!!! Not one single attach - not even close, for 7 months now.
I happily quick of Xanax, cold turkey, never to need (or crave) another dose. I flushed the mind-numbming Klopin (that gave as as substitute for Xanax) within a about two weeks. I was benzo free the first line in 15 years. My mind call gerw sharper and my memory improproved.
So please do let be know know how you fair on the Prozac! And best of luck!
