Last week I took acid and had a bad trip.
I ended up in the ER. They gave me ativan
to calm down after. I didn't think I would
need it though. See I have be talking
Zanex since highschool, off and on. One
nite I started to have panic attacks and
the shakes. Peopl say it's because of the
zanex. What do I do? Keep taking the Zanex
or go to the doc?

I can only speak for myself. I was on one
of the largest doses of Xanex for over a
year. Was on it for a total of 4 years
starting off with a low dose of .5mg twice
a day. Then 3 years later finding myself
on 2mg three times a day. Personally, I
have never had panic attack caused by this
drug. Not that some might.
I will say this much, I was told point
blank, NEVER stop a Benzodiazapam of any
kind (even valium) on you own. Those that
have been on it for years have been know
to have to go to rehab to recover. Believe
me, I have been through withdrawl twice
and by the third day I was ready for
insanity. I then stayed on them and just
recently swtiched to Klonopin (which is
also a benzo, so I went from one straight
to the other) with just about the same
componients so you have no withdrawl at
all. I now take 1mg of Klonopin three
times a day. Doc says it is a longer
acting drug then Xanex is. Stays in you
system longer.
I would see you doctore for sure. DON'T
stop taking them on your own!
Excuse my ignorance, but I am familiar
with most drgs od dependence, and have
never seen or heard of ZANEX. Is it the
name of a dug or a brand-name for some
drug used in a country outwith the West of
Europe or the USA/Canada? I have even
looked it up but can find no mentio of hi
mysterious substance anywhere at all...
the nearest I came up with was ZANAFLEX
which is cerainly not a drug of
dependence!

Probably because people are spelling it
wrong. The correct spelling is Xanax.
Xanax is the brand name and is commonly
referred to by doctors as Alprazolam.
