Hello my name is Chris and I am new. I have resently decided it is time for me to get off Xanax and Aderall the next few days or weeks. Is this program a good tool to use whuile I am on Xanax, I still have phobias , but of course my panic is pretty much gone. I still avoid places like flying, high buildings,concerts and large gatherings so Xanax is not a cure all, but it has kept me feeling normal. I have been able to hold on to a job , but now I am off work and I am 53 and have been taking Xanax for over 30 years. I take 5 mg. of Xanax and 90mg of adderall and I have discussed this with a physician about tapering down.I am afraid to get off Xanax because I also am a alcoholic with eight years of recovery and I remember how lost I was when I got out of treat ment for alcoholism and I had no Xanax and my life was a living hell. I could not function, but I was sure glad I was not on any pils. However the Agoraphobia I had was not worth living with and I went back to my Phychiatrist and he put me back on medicine. Anyway I thought starting this program would be a good idea right now, while I still have avoidance issues. Any feedback is positive. Thank You
Hello and I am a male that is 53 years old and has had panic from the age of 16 , I believe. I used illegal drugs and alcohol to combat my panic attacks in my youth and my adult ages. I have been through many Psych Treatment centers and diagnosed with nervous disorder and put on a regimen of different Benzodihazpines, The best being Xanax toward my 30s,this was a life save. However I still smoked Pot and drank too much while on this prescription. I went to my last treat ment center when I was 45 for alcoholism and drug abuse. When I left the facility I could barely drive back to my home which was a 6 hr drive. My opanic was horrific. My mother followed me back home and I stopped several times telling her I could not drive right. My mind was not right. I felt like I was out of control and could hurt someone on the highway. Well I made it to the beach town where I lived and I became agoraphobic. I did venture out of the house and eat and go to AA meetings, but I was lost. I got back on Xanax and stayed sober to the present . I feel like I best get off medication as I am very dedicated to my sobriety. However I found this program and Dr that said it would be possible to change medicines and move on with y life. That is where I am at today. Thank You Chris
