In reply to why is xanax addicting, posted by 1980Monroe on December 21, 2003, at 10:31:32
Xanax has a short half life, which means it doesn't "work" or remain in your system as long as some benzo's. The theory is frequent dosing may contribute to tolerance developing more quickly. I DO NOT necessarily believe this.
Benzo's used approiately, as drugs that treat the symptoms of a disorder, can be used for years without increase dosing or pitfalls that are so widely believed by some.
The dose of my benzo has DECREASED over a two year use for me.
Admittedly, I cannot speak about Xanax specifically, but I can speak about benzo's as a class of drugs as one who has had great success.
