Hi to All,

I am currently tapering my zanax (6mg's per day)
under the care of an Addiction Specialist.

She is using Librium to ween me off xanax.
In 1 month I am down to 2 1/2 Mgs per day of xanax..and 125 mgs of Librium.

I also have 40 days of being alcohol free.

I didnt know that my weekly heavy binge drinking was negating the effects of my 100 mg's of Zoloft.

So....I am feeling great for the first time in years. I am on 200 mg's of Zoloft, because I have been on it for so many years...the 100 mg dose had pooped out.

As I said I feel better ( great was too strong a word) so far..more motivated, calmer and because of the 50mg's of Librium and 100mgs of Trazodone at bedtime...I am finally sleeping through the night.

The side effects include rapid weight gain.
I have gained 30 pounds in a month! Whats up with that? I also have swelling and edema in my left ankle! Whats up with that?

I have severe arthritis in both knees..so I got a Cortisone shot Friday..and my knee is starting to feel better. ( I want to work out and work off this weight AND prepare my self for Jail..so I am lifting weights, increasing my Cardio and traing on my Heavy Bag and doing my Kunf-Fu workouts every day.

Anyone else tapr with Librium before?
I know it TOO is adictive and cannot be stopped abruptly...but I am told it is an easier ween that Xanax.

Any comments, advice or experiences????

PS
I was charged with a DUI on Dec 6 ( too much xanax mixed with alcohol) so I am probabley looking at 10-20 days in County or a Half-Way house. THAT is why the rapid switch from xanax to Librium...the do not give Xanax in Jail...EVEN if it a prescription here in Ohio. They do give all the other meds I am on...just not Xanax.

Ive NEVER been to jail before....nd I am 47 years old. Any advice on that???

Thanks BF
