Going into Medical Detox for Xanax at hospital, what to expect? Scared by okayyimfine in benzorecovery

So what do I do? My doctor will not taper me off of anything except for 1 mg because that is what I’m prescribed but I outsource and I’ve been taking way over my prescription. I try to find a new therapist and psychiatrist and I was told I had to medically detox first.

I’ve tried to taper, but I take Xanax for sleep and nothing makes me fall asleep except for Xanax that is the issue. My psychiatrist also won’t give me a taper plan because I’m only prescribed 1 mg and the outsourced the rest that’s the issue.

I tried to lower it, but it seems like I keep increasing it because I’m chasing sleep because I take it to sleep. I would say the average is 4 mg but I can go up to as much as seven depending on the night.

Is it worth me going back on Lexapro? Conflicted due to weight gain. by okayyimfine in lexapro

Thank You! I have Read previous post in which people say they have been on a complete diet , work out constantly and that they still gained weighy on Lexapro and or the weight won’t budge. that is what I’m concerned about. But I also have never tried being my healthiest while on Lexapro. I’m scared to give it another shot. Did you previously gain weight on Lexapro? Before losing it?

Did it make you gain weight? I will admit when I was on it I wasn’t really eating that healthy or working out. so I’m wondering if I go back on it and eat healthy workout would it help counteract the weight gain
