In reply to Is Addiction to Xanex really harmful?, posted by mdertinger on February 21, 2002, at 15:02:02
I agree with Jay. I think the only harm with an "addiction" like you mention is if you find that you need increasingly larger & larger doses indicating that you've built up tolerance to it. Your use of Xanax doesn't even begin to raise an issue of abuse of it.
I took Xanax for three years every day when it first came out. One in the morning & another in the afternoon. I, myself, nobody suggesting or pushing me, decided to lower the dose & then eventually to stop all together. I felt that it had trained me to feel calmer & not jump out of my skin so often. I never felt any problems with it, either during its use or afterwards.
