Hi all,

Thanks for your feedbacks. Now, let me tell you something.

I have just shifted to Middle East on a special assignment which lasts probably sixteen months. I am already on 40mg of Prozac which is not doing much to alleviate my depressive symptoms. I am not new to Xanax, took it on and off for a long time. But this time, staying away from my native land, leaving my family behind and to make the matters worse, stress in the workplace. All contribute to the hell I am in now. It is not for anxiolysis I crave Xanax, but is to dissipate depressive thoughts. And Yes, 1mg regularly, or occassionally 1.5mg does the job quite effectively. I don't experience any interdose withdrawal, because anxiety is not my problem. I do experience severe bouts of depression plus social unfriendliness if I skip a dose. If there was an expedient antidepressant for me, I wouldn't have been taking Xanax. But unfortunately, all SSRIs, Stablons, Moclobemides failed to bring at least a 50% reduction. Prozac helps but effects are not satisfactory.

I hope everybody understands what I mean. Now, tell me, is there anything wrong with going three 0.5mg of Xanax daily? At least for sixteen months? After finishing this tough job, I will be joining my family where depression will not be an issue then. Do you think I will get addicted to Xanax? To the point of no return?

Once again waiting for your valuable inputs.

Cheers
Percy LahS
