Hello all. I am on these boards because of my AH.or soon-to-be exH (he left our family and marriage of 27y to "have fun",etc,etc translate that:keep drinking,etc).

New wrinkle: 18y daughter's bf (and most likely her ) evidently is snorting xanax;probably selling it,too. That is a whole other story....one I am trying to let his own family deal with in their way.

My question is: is that what the anger,temper and mood swings comes from? (Seems like the chance of violence is also there.) I have taken "crumbs" of xanax years ago as needed (ie. when I was having anxiety attacks and flying) and it mellowed me out, so I am assuming that the opposite reaction occurs when they leave your system...or is that only after long-term use.

I am unfamiliar with this as an abused drug (even though I know it doesn't really matter except for my own knowledge). I am assuming that the biggest worry is that they are still breathing, adding alcohol and driving

UGH...the family gift that just keeps on giving.

Thanks in advance for the "xanax 101" info.
