No the Xanax and Ativan started to treat anxiety. I fooled myself into believing they were medically necessary and became addicted. My daily regimen included about 8 mgs of Xanax I was prescribed 2. The level of denial I had to engage in to take that dosage is shocking to me. Particularly given the combination w/ alcohol.
Currently I am prescribed anti seizure meds and am on a Flumenizal infusion and a couple of other things to detox safely.
