Take xanax.........you'll wake up a week later!




Don't even think of taking Xanax for insomnia. It is one of the most addictive drugs on the market. You quickly develop a tolerance and quickly need more to get the same relief. It is horrible to w/d from which is what I'm going through now.

My psychiatrist has prescribed me Sonata to help me sleep while I'm coming off the Xanax. I think the Sonata has helped me to sleep for at least 3 to 4 hours. That doesn't sound great but when you also consider that I'm doing a w/d from Xanax it has helped. Before the Sonata, I wasn't sleeping much at all.

I've taken Ambien. Again, I developed a tolerance really quickly. It is only to be used short-term.

The bottom line is that I can't handle most addicting meds. My husband has control of my meds and gives me my exact dose every night. I just can't have control of my meds. I can't control the amount I take. The Xanax is by far the worst addicting medication I've ever taken.

Maybe it isn't that way for everyone. I just wanted to everyone a head's up.
