How is it going?
@@tylerspain1027 good but not easy to say the least thanks for asking.
@@tylerspain1027 ok but it's definitely extremely harsh I think it's all very worth while, thanks for asking.

I love Xanax so much. I’m able to leave my house and have a life. So grateful for it
I’ve been on Alprazolam for 6+ months now. I never exceed 2mg per day, nor do I feel the need to. Tolerance may develop to the sedative and muscle relaxant effects, but tolerance to its anxiolytic effects have never occurred (supported by literature). Yes my memory is slightly impaired when I take full dose of 2mg per day, but otherwise my cognitive functions remain perfectly intact.
Before this drug, I would suffer intense bouts of anxiety that were resistant to all other treatments. Alprazolam remains the only drug that silences it.
So I’ll gladly accept the risk of long term cognitive issues - as of yet, I haven’t noticed anything of concern.
In fact, the anxiety I suffered from prior to treatment was likely impairing my cognitive ability due to its severity.
The only thing I need to make sure of is to never run out, because as rightly pointed out, the withdrawal effects are devastating.
Crazy decision...
I did the same an then out of nowhere started having seizures… n also couldn’t sleep when I stopped taking it…
I've been on 1mg 3x a day zanny for 7 yrs daily you feel your memory issues kick in eventually. N your libido decrease..I have severe anxiety I can't function without em so yeah I wish I can get off them ...heal your gut and your anxiety may be gone. 7 months is not that long
My experience exactly, except that alprazolam has never lost its anxiolytic efficacy for me after more than 15 years. It's also nice to have a sex life and good night's sleep, something I found impossible on anti-depressants and other medications tried first.
Yes I have ran out several times and the up and downs have messed me up so taper taper taper or just stay on for life my advice. It's not easy maybe for some just not for me
I have valium prescribed for my 7 year klonopin addiction but the meds dont help. The best way is to get off before you get stuck because now I'm on oxy for all the withdrawal which is messed up and it just gets worse from there trust me anyone who reads this dont let the drugs take away your personality. You're stronger than you know.

You're story touched me. I'm so scared to get off them. My doc has me down from 3 2mg to 2 2mg a day now. Which is good. I'm so scared though. Been 10 years of daily use.
Have you tried kratom? That is what I have used to come off of opiates SNRI, Clonopin, Adderall, and more. Kratom has been a miracle for me. I still find myself dependent. I know there's a cure out there for this. They only want suffering.
Has anybody developed vision problems like blurry vision and photophobia due to taking benzos?😢
Worsened vision yes
Photo phobia absolutely
Yes but goes away after a while
I know someone who is addicted to these & cannot sleep without them.
Could they sleep before them?
@brian b I couldn't, which is why I take a tint dose to sleep. I wake up normal and am not drugged.
Im addicted and I can’t sleep with them what does that mean???
I am screwed. 35 years with and drank with it. Cut from 2mg to 1mg to .5mg in a year or so, i hid the withdrawals. This man really knows what he is talking about....
lars I took klonapin for 40 yrs. Dosage usually .5mg. I weened very slowly and have been off it 20 months. I am so much better now. Still working through some anxiety, rushing thoughts, some depression. Exercise helps. I also drank but have given that up too. I don’t want any harmful chemicals in my body. I take one day at a time, pray and live in the moment. All the best to you. Take care of yourself. The brain can heal.
@@brendamosher8239 Thanks. My will power is strong. I found that intense exercise helped a great deal with mitigating the tension from doing those 50% tapers. I can give up the beer, but I never knew the hell I would go through with Xanax. I would rearrange my work schedule and make the 9 hour commute to see this doctor, I work in the healthcare field as well, but in lower capacity. Just as long as I can sleep and get through an 8-12 hour work day, I will consider myself lucky. Not ,many are even aware of the slow taper method. I am thinking I will have to do this alone, so am buying a milligram scale and going to taper off slowly over time. I am also in the process of contacting one who uses acupuncture and following anything and everything this doctor recommends.
lars You have a good plan. You can do it. All the best to you!
Formixah I took them daily. I believe God is with me on this journey and is healing me every step of the way. I could not have made it this far without Him. I feel like I am waking up to life. Thankful beyond words.
@@brendamosher8239 I was on them for 30 years just living normal life. I am now 58 and trying to stop. My doctor now has me at .50mg zanax daily and it been rough!!!
I take 1 mg everyday for 11 years . If you take as prescribed no problems, I like having them with me for fear of panic attacks that would otherwise keep me from living life outside of a mental institution. The key is not to overtake.
For me it’s more a psychological dependence.
@Savvybambam I stand by what I wrote regarding my comment.
excactly what I have.. fears of panic attacks and panic attacks itself. when Im at home,not using at all,cause home is my safety zone,once needs to go to work,shop ect,then its starts fears of panick attacks.never feel that I need increase dose more than 1mg.time to time may take an extra 0.5mg,but then Im start feeling really sleepy and way to relax,wich I don't like at all.
@@trout-perch-pike I have OCD so I think in a weird way it prevents me from getting off course since routine and structure are crucial in my life. A form of control, I know I sound like a weirdo, but when you have OCD it’s all about the rules, if that makes sense.
@@terrigreen100 agree 100%
Thanks for your video. It was very helpful. I wish we had seen this a year ago. My wife is currently suffering from benzo withdrawal. She has been off of the drugs for 4 months after a slow taper and is very slowly showing signs of recovery. If we had taken the doctor's advice and upped the dosage, I believe that she would be dead.
Elaborating may help others here. Its unlikely she would have died continuing it and even upping the dose. If she was off the benzo for 4 months and recovery is very slow, the taper was probably too fast. I know someone who took Xanax for 20+ years and went off it over a period of 6 months. Wasn't rough.

It’s awful awful awful what this poison klonopin has done to me. I’m. Off 6 mg 22 mos & healing slowly but still unable to drive after 7 years, can’t cook or clean still tons of brain issues & struggling to walk.

@@caffrey1100 she doesnt want help
My brothers wife of 20 years was on them for about 3-4 years. She started showing signs of things like nodding off in her plate of food on Thanksgiving, then a couple years later she nodded off driving (her 11 year old daughter in the car) had a really bad wreck, the hospital found high levels of Xanax in her system and she was put on probation. Then the next February, not even a year later on Valentine's Day my brother found her dead at 40 in they're bathroom. Heart attack. Her life was over when her daughter was just 12 years old. She was a good wife and mother, just addicted to Xanax. For everyone who abuse's that drug, try and get some control over it. I have addiction issues myself so I'm not talking about her, I just want people to understand what can happen with that particular drug
Wonder if she drank alcohol while on Xanax
I will never ever take another benzo as long as I live. Its been hell getting off of clonazepam and xanax. Ive been feeling like I'm literally dead because of the severe dissociation. Please if you value your life do not take these benzos. Please find other ways to help with anxiety

because its horse sh*t! Many papers have been done with no conclusive evidence!
Steven Howard, you are exactly right! Add to that the conspicuous absence of info from people like myself whose lives were very positively saved and made mentally stable and absent of panic attacks by Xanax! 👍
I don’t like Xanax, doc gave it to me for Akathisia even though Xanax can cause Akathisia... after I quit it, I felt way better about my mental health, I hate relying on medicine to feel good, makes me sick

Everything you are saying makes complete sense! Awesome!
Why do i never remember my experience after taking xanax
Prescribed Ativan for insomnia caused by menopause, only took it occasionally, developed anxiety then panic disorder from Ativan. Eventually figured out the panic was caused by the Ativan from support groups. Now 53 months off the drug and still experiencing really bad waves and very few normal days. Benzos have ruined 12 years of my life and it's still not over! My doctors caused this, not me.
@Slifer X91 No one told me it was dangerous. I did research it and it said withdrawal lasted a couple of months at most. since then the internet has all sorts of horror stories now...I took less than prescribed. I went to doc after doc to try to figure out what was wrong with me - NONE OF THEM SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE THE ATIVAN WHICH I ONLY EVERY TOOK OCCASIONALLY. so fuck off with your stupid opinion.
When your doctor originally prescribed Ativan these effects were not known. Certainly not widely known.
how long did you take the drug.
Thanks for giving a very clear rundown of how benzodiazapines effect the brain. I have been taking .5 mg of clonazepam a day (i chose a low dose because i knew the withdrawl was horrific) and i have heard that it can cause permanent brain damage, but i found it hard to find a clear explaination about it. I have a very bad anxiety disorder but i think i am going to lower my dose even more or maybe stop. It does work for anxiety but the tolerance makes it less worth it then worth it especially if im risking permanent negative effects
@@deweyyocum9057 nobodys gonna fall for that
If you recognise the brain damage and the horrendous withdrawal ahead, why did you ever start? People need to accept that anxiety is part of life and that if it is at a high level pills are still not the answer.
@@emilybarnes5654 because u don't know well I didn't know the effects I just thought was like any other medicine
@@emilybarnes5654 crippling anxiety is not part of life lol
@@emilybarnes5654 some people are not 20 year olds and were never told the side effects. Even my Mother took valium. Many did back in the day. It was called, "Mothers little helper" if you've heard the Rolling Stones you'd know that.
Fk me running. I am so screwed. I think I would never sleep again.
And also man, stop judging. Who the fk are you to know everything? Grow a freaking heart. Ppl have been lied to about chemical imbalance. Psychiatry targets our foster children, pregnant Mothers and then addicted baby's and hormonal teenagers often w/o parental consent. Our military who die more by suicide than active duty. Almost any info you can find on mass shootings involves psychiatric drugs or ppl coming off of them. As of covid ppl are waiting for their psychiatric drugs and the prime target is 20 and under. Of course. Everyone thinks they can take a pill to be happy.
The Xanax sure seemed to save me for a time. I was able to attend my children's school functions and church w/o sweating, coughing or choking. Saying stupid things that I'd try to amend only to make it worse.
The seroquel I would have never taken but my psych Dr caught me off guard one day after my son had left home to the military. I guess you go to a nut Dr long enough they're going to catch you on an off day as they do. Seducers of our souls. They damage and destroy our brains and I've spoken with too many who have been harmed back when side effects were not discussed. We were the experiment. Operation paperclip. Control and manipulate the masses. Making money off of us til our death.
I was cut off of 3mg a day of klonopin by my "wonderful psychiatrist " and I literally felt like I was in hell itself. I was scared of Everything literally! I've never been so scared in my life and that's saying something.
I took off work to detox and was literally scared my boss was coming to bang on my door to find me all shakey and insane

Fish???
This is an excellent video.
It used to be that US Customs would allow the import of a 90 day benzo supply (this stopped in 1999) Very easy if you live in a border state to develop a habit that would be very hard to do without bringing them in from outside. 5+ mg clonazepam daily is hard to stop, but I did it. Like and subbed. Your video is different in that it is so objective (just the facts) . I wish other creators would use some of your objectively. I ask. What was the highest age for a benzo recovery test patient? As the result of a hospital accident I contracted cervical osteomyelitis. I needed some radical debridements to the back of my neck. OK,now a 58 yr old (this was 8 years ago) disabled chronic pain patient. My plate is full of benzos,opiates and muscle relaxers,and antibiotics.
Same. I'm starting to lose hope of even tapering. I'm on 4 mgs a day and still can not sleep. I refuse to take an antidepressant.
I realize Xanax is a psych drug but damn I've been struggling all my life. Like thrown in the river and don't know how to swim and unable to reach the shore. I'll go crazy going as long as I couldn't sleep, getting off of seroquel for sleep.
Never trust psych Drs.

I went to a doctor week ago because I have metabolic issues due to hormonal imbalance that raise my blood pressure. And it effect my sleep that make me harder to fal and stay asleep. The doctor prescribed me benzodiazepine to help me sleep easily but upon reading how dangerous this drug is just like opioid drug I just took the drug but throw it out to garbage as soon as I leave the hospital. I switched to herbal for a natural sedative and it help me to fall asleep. I don't understand how doctor can prescribed this drug so easily.

I see a doctor monthly and he sees me suffering I tell him I'm suicidal and he won't prescribe my medication back. I had go to streets and only get these bs pressed ones that sometimes kick my ass and sometimes like now spend a whole months paycheck on completely fake ones.
u should get some man. go for counselling groups, dont suffer alone.
@@bloopdaddy ate mushrooms realize anxiety is wierd thing
I'd suggest finding a doctor that will help you with tapering down and eventually off this awful drug. I know, it's easier said than done to find a doctor like that, but it's better than suffering through horrific withdrawals. Wishing you well.

They use BENZOS for ALZHEIMER'S !?!?
They throw benzos at everything that moves.
well if benzos werent so bad for u and if they were taken only as needed they would be an extremely effective medicine. Alzheimer's patients (like my Mom) in some cases developed alzheimers from stress and insomnia, two things benzos fix extremely well. I watched her pace around the house with anxiety and get little sleep for a very long time. I believe that's what caused her alz. But benzos aren't prescribed to patients who have alzheimers already, because it could make it worse and progress faster. She is getting a lot of THC and CBD

I just took Alprazolam for 2 months, During the first week, my intellectual ability was reduced, I can calculate by 30%, as a network engineer who relies on his analytical ability to do his job, it's a nightmare. After 2 months on 0.5mg pills, my taper lasted a month, but it took a other 6 months to recover my analytical ability, your brain re-wires after the benzos, but it's not the same
Are you alright now? Please reply
Do you experience any withdrawl symptoms
@@abhishekmohanty1071 I think I'm lucky, my analytical ability is restored now by 100%, but I had to do a lot on my own like doing a lot of math exercises to re-wire my brain, it worked. Regarding withdrawal, yes, I experienced it, but lasted no more than a week, just after the last dose I had (0.125 mg my last pill), I experienced a weird sensation after 32 hours, I was sleeping and suddenly I woke up feeling weird (due to Alprazolam low half-life in the body), then I experienced that weird sensation for 3 days, then, I felt sleepy for 4 days (I think my GABA was being restored), after that sleepy sensation, my sleeping habits were back to normal.
@@xc68hc705kj1 im taking alprazolam for 2 months already. My psyquiatric said i have anxiety disorder. He says i have a treatment for 1 year. Honestly i wont do that for that long. I also feel linda dumb.
@@alondraacosta-mora6504 I had to get back to Alprazolam treatment with Fluoxetine after COVID-19, this re-activated the anxiety disorder, lasted on benzo from Jan 1st 2021 until yesterday (May 24th), I started the taper month and a half before, the way I designed my taper left no weird sensations after stopping the benzo, so smooth (you have to be able to cut pills in a precise manner). Your case of 1 year is too extended, how much dosage? the longer you are on benzo the harder is to stop it, you will develop a dependence, that is 100% sure, hope your psychyatrist prescribes a very good taper.
@@xc68hc705kj1 well now i take half morning and half night 0.50 alprazolam and it has been 3 months. I am tapering very slowly. It is all good for now. To be honest my memory is not 100 but i was worst before taking meds. I was going insane after a psychotic breakdown and i very bad depression. So at least i feel way better like a 80% better with meds rather than 0% with major depression.
So I came here for advice..I was kinda abused when i was kid, my mom put me out the house when i was 11... Long story short i've been dealling with addiction specialy cannabioids since then. I'm seen as a drug Addicted the black sheep of the family... I've mostly do it so I can Control my axienty and try to sleep (I can spend like 3-4days not sleepin just bulding stress up). So.. the fact Im 29 now and don t want to real with this any more... I thought maybe substituting weed for Xanax but not sure now.. seriously I rather end it all then go thru this shit again. (I've also tried getting better with sertaline(precribed), LSD, MDMA, and Coke)
I've watched countless videos on this medication but I still can't get a clear answer does Alprazolam increase dopamine? I've read many times that it does then it does not it's very confusing. Simple question. Does alprazolam actually increase dopamine? Please answer thank you
I used to take up to 30mg alprazolam(Xanax) a day with alcohol because I have been suffering from terrible depression. Yes I was terribly addicted and one day I decided to just stop and sober up so I stopped cold turkey. And on the 5th day I had a terrible seizure and I thankfully was outside and people saw me passed out and called the emergency as I couldn't remember where I was and what day it was (I live alone). I was extremely hypertensive and agitated and In the ER they put me on Chlordiazepoxide(Librium) 40mg with an 8h interval, slowly tapering down to zero. And I kid you not, after the treatment, I still had rebound anxiety altho in much less intensity but still the feeling of jittery and anxious after the Chlordiazepoxide weared off.
So yeah withdrawal from benzos is a b*tch. Always talk to your GP or at least cut it down slowly if you don't want to die while sobering up.
Worse pill I ever took. Zany
Before I watch your video, I have been on 5 anxiety and/or antidepressants for more than 10 years. Much more. I can now live a normal life, without them? NO. Mine is by prescription and closely monitored by my doctors.

Why did you throw Etizolam on the poster board, just due to the fact it's a Thienobenzodiazepine... the difference between benzodiazepine and thienobenzodiazepine is that benzodiazepine is benzodiazepine while thienobenzodiazepine is (chemistry) a heterocyclic compound containing a diazepine ring fused to a thiophene ring and a benzene ring.
Can still cross tolerance to diazepam to taper
Was using street diazepam may have been etizolam as well. 7 months cold turkey and severely kindled by general anesthetic. Reinstated found tolerance at 20 mg diazepam prescription. 7 months to taper from that. 15 months out not quite how I should be. But 85percent
38 years. Then he just stopped. I had gottne a divorse only thing that had changed. Refused to run drug test.

If you have been taking them regularly, for years, you're gonna have a problem that lasts 2 years or more if you try to come off of them, which has been a real problem for my Grandmama who's almost 80...she has had back problems for decades, but has managed to get through all the surgeries over the years with nothing but hydrocodone, (impressive if you know pain...and she's been on 7.5's, the medium strength ones, but because she was on a benzo, and because of a squish on dr.s, she had to make the decision to either off the clonazepam (Klonopin) she had been taking for a LONG time with the hydrocodone, and had NO problems due to those being in her system...she doesn't drink or take anything else that would cause a problem) she could stop taking those, OR stop taking her pain medication altogether. So she though, "I don't need those, they just help me sleep"To her, not knowing how bad withdrawal from long term, dr prescribed (in fact, she took less than prescribed of the klonopin)......Now she's afraid to leave the house and barely leaves the bed. And I don't know, but I bet she's taking much stronger painkillers. I understand that we don't need new long term benzo-dependent patients, but for the ones who it's been ok, let's KEEP that Hippocratic Oath...long term benzos are a mistake (for the most part), but to those already dependent on them just to live, or just for the will to live, DO NO HARM.
I TOTALLY agree, don't take anything everyday, unless you're willing to take a chance on needing it the rest of your life. That little sentence can be applied in SO many ways. Don't eat if you're not willing to have to everyday. lol, I kid, first sentence is straight up truf.

How worried should I be if I have been abusing Xanax for the last 3 months 2mg to 2.5mg a day. What should I expect when I stop should I taper or have I dug myself to deep of a hole for cold turkey
Bryce Nunweiler I went through this same thing except I was abusing that same dosage probably 6-8 months. This was last year. I started by tapering off slowly and then eventually went cold turkey for the last of it. I had some serious depression and horrible dreams for about 2 weeks. But it wasn’t debilitating. I could still function in every day life, it’s just my anxiety and overall mental health was on edge to the max. After the initial withdrawals ended, I went through about of month and a half of bland depression. Just unfocused, zombie sadness. So I went to the doctor and got on Zoloft (anti depressant). This helped me a whole lot with the process. After about 3 months on zoloft, I tapered off that and now I feel 100% better. My experimental phase was very ugly! I’m glad I got out of it free of addiction and learned my lesson. I’m not going to say that Im done with Xanax forever. It helps me in my career if I use it the right way. But now that I know how to get off of it when I use it daily, I can manage it better. The trick is to taper off slowly until you’re all the way off, spend about 2 or 3 weeks completely off and then hop on an antidepressant for two or three months. Then taper off that and you are golden. Your brain chemicals will be re-balanced and you’re back to normal.
Bryce Nunweiler Please Google and read the Ashton Manual it’s free online and you can print out a copy to bring to your doctor, most doctors are uneducated on tapering patients off! Dr. Heather Ashton is one of the worlds experts on benzodiazepine withdrawal, she suggests switching to Valium to taper as it has a longer half life. Paul Cunack has a Utube site that explains the taper easily and is very informative. BenzoBuddies is a online support forum that you can read and ask questions and also is very informative! Good luck 🍀 You can do this!! 👍

Just taper down one day take like 2mg do that for a few days then go down to 1.5 and then 1mg
40 years prescribed with taper that was too short here
Thoughts on taurine, magnesium glycenate, chamomile tea, valerian root and all other “natural” inhibitiors
I am on aprazolam since 3 years +
During years i was taking ghb daily...
It was a nightmare to quit.
How does ghb feel like?
@@fatawkwardchungus8949 never do that. feels good but too addictive stay away
Boosting BDNF is necessary. Brain damage, dementia and alzheimer's is highly debatable with this drug. Any drug will deplete essential vitamins and minerals etc. that need to be replaced.
hey but when you say used in long term how much is long term? 3 months or 6 months?
2 weeks more is considered a long term. benzo builds tolerance quickly therefore you can get dependant easily.

What makes someone nasty?
Why isn’t it illegal to prescribe it long term if it’s not supposed to be prescribed that way?

Never start use it you warned
Do you think it is time for someone to take legal action against their doctor for keeping them on a benzo for sleep for twenty years? If so, I am more than willing to be the first. I am very upset I didn’t know the dangers. Been on 4mg Xanax and 20 mg diazepam. Tapering now, but it is hell. I have gotten up in the middle of the night and fallen many times and had to go to ER. Permanent back and headaches from the falls.
Ive been trough benzo withdrawal a few times... multiday blackouts DUI. Cant remember anything. This legal drugs are worse than XTC LSD or weed..
You are ultimately responsible to do your own homework before taking any med Dont blame the doctors
Can you cover the neuroscience of solitude and what does it change in your brain
I've been on benzo's since 1994. I'm still on 6mg's of Xanax a day and I suffer interdose withdrawal symptoms daily. My CNS is completely destroyed. I have GABA down regulation. This is no quality of life. I'm terrified to go off of them because of how bad the withdrawal symptoms are. 😢 I'm broken.

Was prescribed Xanax 10 years. I suffer schizoaffective bipolar PTSD anxiety agoraphobia depression OCD.. I was taken off my Xanax within 3 days with med help and went 4 days cold turkey.. I had a miscarriage because of it.. now I am on Klonopin have been the past year and I do not feel the same I live in paranoia and anxiety all day and still have trouble sleeping cooking everything.. I want to see a neurologist but my Dr won't approve me a referral.. this has cost my life I haven't felt normal in so long . There needs to be a med like Suboxone for benzodiazepines.

My LTR was in the Swedish Army in Bosnia/ United Nations Peacekeeping Army in Ethnic Cleansing and watching people getting killed. US Army in the United States. Prior to that, as a child his parents didn't want him and abandoned him into foster care where he was sexually abused. Upon coming to the US from Sweden he got engaged to marry a lady but she was killed in a motorcycle accident. Shortly n thereafter, he lost his business and home. Let's see if I have this straight. Two days ago, he tried to kick the Zanax but the withdrawal plus all the experiences that got him on Zanax came back to him. Anybody got any bright ideas as to a solution? Psychiatrists haven't helped. He needs more than some doctor asking him asinine questions
I am on Tranxene T Tabs 30 mg daily , have been since 18 yo , 26 now . They saved my life.

Why shouldn't I trust you?
Do you know what you are saying?
The tolerance thing doesn't happen to everyone. My brains normal state is not sleeping and being a wreck during the day.
My doctor put me on xanax 3x a day for 6 months should I be concerned?
How are you now, 2 months after making this comment? Honestly curious. I'm on 3mg XR plus 1mg "when needed." After many issues which I don't want to get into, I realize I need to get off asap.. well, by tapering down obviously. it's not worth the side effects and especially long term effects. I realized this before seeing this video btw. Memory loss, black outs, no drive to do anything, feeling like.. nothing. And much more. It's bad stuff...
@@ryanr9792 hey dude, im a medical student and I manage to pass all my exams for the moment so I guess my memory is fine. But i have to admit that my short term memory has taken a hit. For example after eating my breakfast i can't remember if I took my drugs or not or if it was yesterday. Thats the only downside I could feel. But overall my life has been so much better regarding anxiety and helped me go through days in a chill mood so for me it is worth it
@@sqshq1337 As a medical student you should probably know to get a second opinion for another doctor, not the internet hehehe :)
Thank you🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
My grandmother somehow got prescribed 8mg of this shit. She is now in a nursing home and can't walk or stand up
Excellent video.

wait zolpidem is ambien not a benzo
You are right, thank you for the correction - "Zolpidem is a nonbenzodiazepine and hypnotic of the imidazopyridine class.[3] Zolpidem is a type A GABA receptor agonist.[3] It works by increasing GABA effects in the central nervous system by binding to GABAA receptors at the same location as benzodiazepines.[3] "
autumn claver it’s a Z drug that works on the same receptors as Benzos & just as dangerous
Its way better to be addicted than having to deal with serious mental issues.
Honestly I agree because if people were left without drugs that work with serious mental problems the person will probably just commit suicide. And I would personally rather die from an accidental overdose or seizure than feel miserable for almost my whole life only to end my life.

@@joeldecoster8816 shiiiiiyou right maybe I am
are there any positives to these drugs?
all the reasons would be short term for the vast majority
I hope I never get prolapsed withdrawl lol 6:27

Really, Thank You for advice, but I prefer Xanax ( 0,5 mg 1 pill per day and half) than panic attack worse than death. P.S. I don't drink any akcohol.
Panic is hell,I'm with you.
If you can just illustrate the videos and we don’t need to see you. I’d bet your channel gets millions of subs.
But we can’t see you at all.
I took 10 bars a day for 2 years and stopped one day. Took me two weeks to stop shaking. I can't take them any longer but I loved them.
raw one
Just read your comment and I don’t know you but I’m so proud of you.. I’m on 2mg twice a day and I feel like I’m doing too much. You’re so very strong for not taking them anymore. ❤️
@@devonnichole6373 Thank you.. It's a real struggle. This life can be so mean. Just always think and know your not alone. I believe you can beat this also. I lost so much in so many ways to addiction I had to fined a way out. I beat it because I was sad. I still am in many ways but I move forward with reality ever present. Good luck my friend..
P Lasek lmao people get them off the street.....
@@devonnichole6373 hey are u still taking the Benzodiazepines im on Xanax and feel like im taking to much doctor prescribed 1 mg day - mg night and 7 years ago and i only break it and take 0.25 mg now i feel the same if i tame it or no idk why am i in tolerance or addicted also if i dont take 0.25 i feel like im having a heart attack or will go into cardiac arrest
@@rawone9158 how are we not alone?
I would just highly recommend if u ever think of stopping the medication, do not abruptly stop. Definitely have your Dr ween u down. The withdrawals are torture & dangerous. A Dr needs to ween u off. Definitely don't take it upon yourself to do it.

Suggest some alternatives to benzos.
Dont exist. At least in my personal experience benzos are a miracle pill, the effectiveness they have is not achieved with anything unfortunately

@@uf8768 Hows the tree bunny egg worship going pagan?
Gabapentin and pregabalin
Ive Been on 8mg a day for 15 years, I assume I don't have a choice of not taking them. Because my intelligence is still very high, and my memory is sharp as a knife.

just try and imagine a World without Xanax.........not a place I want to live in.......just too many people out there that need to be medicated....that's a reality....get over it
no one is demanding the medication is burned in a fire, just aware of the risks before you take it
Fuck I literally fall under so many of these categories - I used benzos from 2015-2016 very hard then went cold turkey - relapsed in 2017 and the two following years and literally lost myself after using some shit called Phenazepam - I don''t feel human anymore and 100% have concentration problems, delayed reaction & general way worse anxiety and an intelligence diffidency and am literally brain damaged I guess - this has impacted my life insanely bad and I'm only 21 - alprazolam has ruined my life and I've let it sadly
it takes time but you will be back to normal..
so true
Xanax and similar are one of the great evils of the 21st century!
btw, nice tattoo 👍🏻
Short term ok but long term, You will regret!
Hi some guy on the internet

Hmmm.... Typical "cherry picking" studies that agree with you. I've had four strokes and am on .5mg Xanax BID for motor control of my right hand/arm. Ideal? Nope, but hitting myself in the head or body uncontrollably wasn't either. My primary care D.O. is "Oh, you're on benzos!!! That's terrible!!!". My stroke Dr. (M.D. PhD. Board Certified Psychiatrist, Board Certified Neurologist, Head of Neurology at my hospital) is "So??? What else you got to help him? Oh, yeah, opioids that will kill him and don't work." I couldn't use a mouse or a keyboard with out Xanex, or drive, or shop, or take a shower/bath, or do laundry, or do the dishes, or walk, or sleep, or feed myself, or write. Well I could be "gorked" in a nursing home. I'm old, I ain't gonna live forever. (you won't either) The POSSIBLE FUTURE harm vs: the immediate symptom relief doesn't add up to your "THE SKY IS FALLING!!!" hype. Are "benzos" worse than amoxicillin for years instead of having your kid's tonsils removed? "Well, there's no good long term studies of amoxicillin in children", yeah, they don't STAY KIDS long term...What about giving child asthmatics (I'm one) doses of steroids for years, turning them into little short hump-backed full-backs with weak bones and Type II diabetes??? I'm "pre-steroid". I'm old. As Charlie Allnut tells Rosie at the fork in Ulanga, "You pays your money and you takes your choices." re: C. S. Forester novel "The African Queen"
Unfortunately you are spellbound. There's clearly no getting through. Dependency right there.
Doctor IS against giving Xanax to people with difficulty sleeping.
Doctor is NOT against giving Xanax for serious illness.
