Question by eric: A question about xanax?
Alright, so I’ve had bad night time anxiety for awhile now. I often times will stay up all night just anxious about random things. My mind will not shut off, and it makes sleeping really hard. I’ve tried various sleeping aides, but the thing is, they don’t work. No matter how sleepy something makes you, if it doesn’t shut off your mind and make you stop thinking so much you’re not gonna sleep either way. I will most likely get maybe three hours of sleep a night because of this. Often times I get so nervous thinking that I will not sleep all night. So, I went to the doctor, and he prescribed me xanax. He told me to take .5mg before I go to bed. He said that it should help me in relaxing and therefore I can sleep better at night because I will be less anxious. The thing is, I’ve read up on xanax and it says that it is very easy to get hooked to xanax, which will in turn cause withdrawal symptoms. So, I was just wondering, how long should I take xanax for before I can quit without any withdrawal effects? I was not planning on using this drug long term, but only so it can help me get better with my night time anxiety. When it makes me better I was gonna stop taking them. I have no other anxiety problems really, just night time anxiety. I wasn’t gonna abuse them, but only take .5mg a night as recommended to help me with my anxiety. Also, is this an ideal situation to take them, or would I be better off not taking them at all and trying other methods, even though everything else has failed?
