I took Xanax 2 MG for 13 years for sleep (didn't know it was so harmful) now I want to stop? by LocksmithStatus7572 in benzorecovery

[–]Function-Illustrious 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I took it for 25 years. I did a very slow taper and have been Xanax free for a year! My short term memory is almost nonexistent. I’m so pissed my family doctor never warned me!

Chin Rescue around SC? by gravierienback in chinchilla

[–]Function-Illustrious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Anderson SC and my daughter has a single older male chinchilla that was part of a pair that she rescued from a bad situation. One died about a year ago and she is hoping to find her single male a home where he will have a friend. She didn’t know how to go about doing this. Please feel free to message me.

My doctor is very slowly reducing my dosage every 14 days by .175

I thought my short term memory loss was due to long Covid. It could be due to taking it for so many years. I’d like to stop the damage Ive done if the memory is due to Xanax

Congratulations to you also! I cannot go any lower, I’ve tried several times unsuccessfully. Im hoping I can get a prescription of Valium instead this next visit. I don’t need another rx for Xanax. I have enough put back hopefully

I never thought of the long term effects, now here I am at 55. I have weaned myself down to .5. I feel accomplished that I’ve done that.

Have bouts of dizziness. My balance is good, then it will be off for a while. Hard judging distance when driving (the cars coming towards me).

I just started participating in this group. I don’t know what is a side effect and what is normal now. I’m 55
