I was given Xanax for anxiety.For 4 years i was using them to deal with everyday life.It worked until they decided to take me off with out winging me first.I was having bad withdrawls,so i did the only thing I thought I could,I street bought.After 2 years of that one day I woke up and looked at my self and really didnt know who I was,it was time to stop.I was able with help to get clean from them with help from friends but the memories I lost can never be regained.I sometimes do miss the way they made me feel so secure about myself ,but I have to remember what they took also.If I had the choice again to take them and feel so secure agian with taking them Id turn it down.The pleasure they give you doesnt even come close to the pain when youve done them to long.Be careful they can control your life, they did mine!
