I hate to disagree, but I too have been on benzos for 15+ years and have even had to cold-turkey xanax, and what you describe fits what I experieneced very much. Benzos affect the GABA in your brain, which is contained in most aspects of your brain, so it has some pretty bad w/d effects. And fwiw most of the medical literature says that a person can become addicted enough in 2 weeks to possibly go through some w/d. Read up on benzo withdrawal and see if it sounds like what you experienced. Or a real good test would be that if you are feeling 'that way' just take one of your xanax. If you return to norm pretty quickly then you probably found your culprit.
L - been there so many times I could write a book about it.
Wild. I believe Listvoer and I have much in common. I too have been on benzo's for 15 plus years! Your 'test' is a great idea! That should put all suspicion to rest. I hate debates, but any physician will tell you not to take benzo's for more than two weeks because they may become habit forming! She says she missed a dose after only two weeks and got ill. That boat don't float. Also, keep in mind, concerning GABA receptors, the half-life of the benzo. Xanax has a short half life. I have never had benzo w/d from xanax missing one dose. Usually it takes 2 days (thats 6 doses) before I begin to feel it, and 6 days with Valium. cha-ching .02
If it is benzo w/d I highly recommend you taper off them now before you ARE hooked. Please have a look.
In any case... this should be helpful to you. Benzo FAQ
Believe me when I say, I know the pain of benzo w/d cold turkey. Best of luck. Hope this helps.
Take care all.
