I asked doc about the dangers of getting addicted and replacing alcoholism by addiction to benzos to which he replied that alcoholism was such a serious problem that it would be easier to detox from xanax than alcohol.
I'm on day three.
What does your doc think?
Imo- its easier to taper off benzo"s than alochol ,At least they are researched to not be POISON like alochol is .
NUTRITION CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED !!!!!!1
Dont go the candy route for the replacemant of sugars ,I use fresh fruits .
I posted about my antidrink - i just had one ,a fresh apple ,handful of spinich ,handfull of carrots ,bannah ,tablespoon of peanut butter ,1/2 scoop of protien . Throw in 2 cups cold water in blender ,blend and drink .
If you are real fresh in detox id add apple juice in place of the water ,because its sweet .
I also take 1 mens megasport vitinam from GNC ,its reccomended to take 2 ,but i do fine on one .
To answer your question -Benzos like you listed beat anxeity down !
I put half a zanax under my tonque when i get the occasional attack .
NOW -the GOOD part
Anxeity will be reduced ALOT when you get the alochol out of your system .
You will feel like a diffrent person ............
