Only Bad days

I only take a Xanax on bad days and it really doesn’t do anything for me but put me to sleep for three or four hours. Maybe I’m not taking enough .25 mg. When my mind just want shut the fudge up I take one. I believe I need to talk to my doctor To get another Medicine that I can take daily. They did not recommend me to take Xanax daily because it can be addictive.

Oh hunn I’m sorry your having trouble sleeping and yes this type of medicine so bad for you just another drug to mess up with the sleep,Talk to your dr and say you don’t want any medication I will recommend exercise and meditation so you can star building more sleep

I did also struggle with sleep problems when I was with Ativan I got so addicted to this medicine taking it three times a day.. ugggh (I wish I knew)

Take care baby start taking care of your self 💕

Hello,I took X for many years… Don’t do it!!

It starts .25 then .5 it messes up your mind to the point if you decide to stop, OMG

It’s been 2 year’s since I quit and just getting back to some what normal.

It was the most horrible terrifying time of my lifeX10

Don’t do it!

😀

Hey sweet girl, based on my own experience with Xanax and antidepressants, they ripped my entire world away from me. I noticed they weren’t working really (Xanax is a bail out drug) they just upped my dosages. Went from taking 2mg once daily to 4xs daily. I was a walking zombie and still felt just as much pain.

After 6 years I made the decision to get off them and turn to holistic medicine… essential oils targets the same receptors in the brain as xanax does. I highly recommend doing some research into essential oils and see if they help you!

Crystals as well, if you’re a believer, they can be an enormous help!

You’re beautiful and loved. If you need anyone to talk to, you have someone!
