Miracle medicine that fixes social issues

[Jacob1]

Hi guys and gals I've been on a medication called xanax or alprazolam it has fix my anxiety problem. I do recognize what works for 1 person will not work for another,or will give sducidal thoughts to another. It is an additive drug,but I don't I don't have an additive personality. What do everybody think about it.? I would recommend people with social anxiety to get put on this,but be ware!!!!

 

[Badjedidude]

What did kimmie tell you about it.

 

[TheRealCallie]

So you made a thread about xanax. Will we next have a thread about alcohol?

I do believe you mentioned you live in Seattle. Which means it's illegal for you to drink, so perhaps you shouldn't.

 

[EveWasFramed]

You're been overly aggressive about pushing drugs as a cure-all for social issues. You've mentioned it enough already. :club:

 

[Kitsune Tora]

Long term use of benzodiazepene's is generally not advised by doctors, it can have serious long and short term side effects and they are not easy to withdraw from, I've spoken with people who say being put on them long term was a bad thing for them and that the withdrawal from them was one of the hardest things they've ever had to endure. Of course some find them helpful, so it's not one size fits all. But as with everything moderation and responsibility is key.
A lot of people will have said that they won't get addicted as they don't have an addictive personality... that's rubbish in my opinion. Xanax is highly addictive in part due to the rapid nature of it's effect. You feel uncomfortable, you take a pill, you feel great because those feelings are awful- you've avoided those feelings. Your mind makes the connection. You've got a get out clause- never mind that you've heard or been told that it's an adjunct to the hard work that needs to be done too . So you start using it more often, but it's ok you haven't got an addictive personality, you'll be fine, you're better than all those other people that thought exactly the same thing and got hooked. And slowly it creeps up on you, it stops working as effectively so you need a higher dosage, you get put on a higher dosage but the same thing happens again, it takes more and more to get you to that comfortable place. And it's effects last about 5 hours before you need another one, then another one. You need a higher dosage to get the same effect as you used to so you go back to get that and your doctor says no... no more, that's the highest you can go. So you start to figue well if he's not going to give me the higher dosage I'll just double up occasionally when i need it. But only when i need it. Got to be smart about this. So you start doubling up, and then you need it again and before you know it you've run out and need a new prescription but you can't get it because the doctor knows it's too soon for you to have any more... unless you've not been taking them properly? 'Uh no i just lost a strip somewhere', crafty, but there's only so many times you can use that excuse. So maybe you start looking for other places to get it, although god knows what the quality will be like and if there'll actually be any of the drug you've asked for in what you get not to mention the financial or legal risk involved. Your tolerance to even basic discomfort has gone because you've been able to avoid it by taking the magic pill- but the discomfort lurks held barely held back by the drugs and it won't be stopped forever.
And add to this the withdrawals when you can't get the dose you need, the side effects, the fear, the uncertainty, the occasional thoughts of 'is this normal?' and then eventually either the forced or self chosen benzo withdrawal. And after that the need to face those original feelings you always had to face along with all the others added by addiction.
Nah you're not addicted. You're not the type...

Not that I speak from experience, not with xanax at any rate, although i've had some experience with other meds. and no, not everyone will get addicted to benzos. But they are known to be extremely addictive and a total bitch to come off of after long term use.
I'm staunchly in the medications as an adjunct to various supports or therapy field of thought, and that's from personal experience of relying only on medications. It's a sticking plaster, the original problems will always resurface if not dealt with at the root as far as possible- some people may always need medication in their lives and that's ok. But we can't just stick everyone on addictive medications, it's dangerous.

 

[EveWasFramed]

I have a family that got addicted to that type of drug due to some medical issues they had (and were prescribed the medicine). Ten years later, I helped them get into rehab for it.
There are other meds, not addictive like benzodiazepines.

 

[Peaches]

it's not a matter of personality, benzodiazepines create addiction after two to three weeks, and then after taking them for a while more they just stop working and create the anxiety they are supposed to cure

many horrible stories, I could add mine but I won't, not here.

 

[SophiaGrace]

If there was a medication that would cure depression and feelings of self-loathing/insecurity. I would take it.

But it seems like any chemical has drawbacks.

My antidepressant seems to help make me more sensitive to other people's pain, which I really don't mind.

Just gotta remember to take it. Forgot last night, and it's resulting in an emotional day.

This response is probably off topic to this thread.

-----

But to add something, yes, benzos only mask your problem and are addictive. I guess I should define masking, as in, how is this different from an antidepressant? With a typical antidepressant or other psychiatric med, it stops working at some point and you have to start with something else.

For your case with xanax, it creates a craving and need that antidepressants and other psych meds don't. They both stop working, yes, but I don't have the urge to take more of my antidepressant than I already do, just to feel "more" of something.

There's a fine difference and I find it interesting that you made me stop and think of what that difference is.

What do I think? I think you're turning into Mr. Xanax around here.

 

[Mistborn10]

Haha. This is hard to take seriously. Xanax is not a miracle medicine and anyone who thinks that is pretty naive. As has been noted the withdrawal from this is intense and mixing it with things can be disastrous. I know it helps some people but it should be approached with caution.

Any body that thinks its not a miracle medicine,for anxiety has never tried and should stop being naive there selfs. Second I've been on it months no additive side affect even when I wasn't prescribed, I have took a week brake to prove to myself. But like I said what works for one will not for the other.

I live in Seattle and indiana, just trying to help someone out with extreme anxiety. I don't like alchoal, I like marijuana but its legal here.

I'll give you that meds are different for each person. I have been prescribed Xanax for my social anxiety and it ended very badly. I hope it works better for you.

In the 50-ish posts you've made up to now, "charmer" is the last one I would use to describe your messages so far.

[TheRealCallie]

This isn't a drug forum and this isn't a sex forum. I'm not sure why it matters whether case has been with a woman or not and quite frankly, it's kind of rude to ask like that. Are you going to offer him some viagra?

Lay off the drugs, lay off the alcohol and stop pushing them on everyone. NO drug is a miracle drug, they all have side effects whether you realize it or not. Perhaps you don't experience them, but they are there and many of them are dangerous. And that's not getting into the LONG term side effects.

You said in another thread that if people don't try for self improvement, that means they are lazy. Well, one could say similar for hiding behind drugs, couldn't they? I also don't really think it's self improvement if you are only using it to get laid. I think it's time for you to grow up a little and realize what life is like in the real world.
And between the alcohol, the marijuana, the viagra and the xanax, I think it's safe to say you are hiding behind the drugs.

I certainly don't think anyone who refuses to try these meds are naive.

 

[EveWasFramed]

I'm just giving my word on it bud, trying to help another person that has an extreme anxiety problem. That's what site is for right moderator,you should know!!!

First, Im NOT your "bud."
Second, this site is NOT for promoting drugs and alcohol as a viable resource for social anxiety. THAT is what I KNOW as a MODERATOR.

Chill the hell out with trying to push drugs and alcohol as a remedy for anxiety.

Famous last words… I don't have an addictive personality. Im sure all addicts say this
