Imagine being dependent (“addicted” is a fun word to use, it’s just incorrect in this usage) to placebo!:>} I wonder what you switch to to withdraw from a placebo? Valium, via Ms. Ashton?
>Bassman,
I appreciate your opinion and how different your experience with xanax has been than mine.
I do not recall ever coming across reliable studies that showed xanax withdrawl and placebo withdrawl were even remotely similiar...let alone the same.
"Xanax is harder to kick than herion" is the experience and statement of most all long-term users and Studies to date.
As Dr Ashton points out.....[i]"withdrawl symptoms can lay dormant for days or weeks before becoming apparent...and virtually every cold-turkey cessation of long-term benzo use results in sever withdrawl symptoms, and the likelyhood of prtrated withdrawl symptoms. [/i]

My friendly advice......the only good xanax dose is a "0" dose
Just my personal experience
