Alera,
I am prescribed xanax as well. I have had many a debate with myself about them, as so much is presumed and there is so much stigma.
But in the end, actions speak. I can function and live a full life staying on my meds. Without them, I am crippled. I had to look at quality of life; and give myself a chance to have one. Obviously I find it scary that I need them, but the althernative is so much worse.
I have managed to taper off a few times in the past and be okay. But it seems my depression/anxiety is as much a progressive illness as is addiction. I am too scared to get as sick, SICKER than I was last time I decided I was cured and quit the meds. I am afraid I do not have another recovery in me.
sincerely,
live
