In reply to trying to get off Xanax - Day 4 and feeling bad, posted by WhyandHow on November 17, 2006, at 16:09:35
Well now I already made what appears to be the wrong choice. the night of day 4 I drove and got the last bit. 1mg did not do much for me but now I am waking up on what would have been day 5 feeling a little bit of some earlier withdraw all over again! now, since it is here, I took another 0.5mg first thing in the morning (never did that before). Now I am scared and I sure wish I would have just stuck with it. I don't know if I can deal with going through all of this all over again.
I also NOW realize now that i was actually up to about 4mg per day. These 0.5mg chunks are very small. I'm afraid I just added another 2 weeks onto my suffering and I'm not sure I can deal with that. My father died of a heart attack at age 53. I am 40 and have lived a lot worse than him. I have so many good qualities if I can ever get back to normal. BUT, I feel like this is the end of the road. This is an end of the road drug to withdraw from - it is the type USED to withdraw from other things - there is nothing for this.
Only because I took 1 mg this morning, I am feeling to as bad. I am so scared – don’t think I can go through that again. The hospital is not a good option here, there is nothing else and nobody else.
