I was in a detox unit w/ heroin addicts. Withdrew from 8mg Xanax, everything I was on (no street drug); but can't recall what was on, darn. I was told by the staff that my withdrawal is just as bad, if not worse, and my care was the same, same patches etc.
We can be thankful here tho', as we are not tempted by our drug when we walk out the door. That knowledge is so difficult. Used to be in that sort of position. No desire to go down that way.
Just recalled, prior to being on so much Xanax, I had been on Effexor tablets (not XR) long before that, and MAYBE at that time. I haven't a copy of records from stay.
There was no place for me, for aftercare, ya' know, no anti-depressants-anonymous, well, at least I wasn't taken seriously enough to be directed to follow-up care, as were street drug users.
Came home alone, things went bad fast. Long story. Anyway, now, when I take .5mg Xanax, I think it gives me anxiety? My mind still knows how much it really wants, think?
Seein' P today. He needs to see a P. But, have to wait, month or so, as transfer completed.
Oh, yes I filed charges re: head bashing. I think I rec'd $150; she hadn't $, but was charged. Should have gone to the ER - why couldn't I think for myself? cf
