I remember before i ever tried any psychotropic drugs, i took some valium for a MRI procedure. At it was fun!!! I felt drunk and funny. Now, I absolutely get no feelings of well being out of it. But the same holds true for the first time i drank alcohol to now, it's completely different feeling.
that said, if anything xanax causes by far the most feelings of well being, probably due to the dopamine involved. That and it's short half-life could be asking for bad withdrawals.
Withdrawal is real! I've tried 4 times to come off. Once cold turkey. 2 times the WD schedule was way too fast. And this last one i was down to 3.5, and switched to lexapro, which threw me for a loop.
I thought that i was only going to go back up to 7mgs, from 3.5. I have never ever felt such a physical and psychological craving and needing for more! I've even gone back to 15mgs, and still don't feel stablized.Typically i would feel do depressed and disappointed that i didn't make the WD, but this time round i really don't care, becuase lexapro is work so much better for depression.
