Self medicating for anxiety

Yeah I feel like it would be foolish since you're not prescribed. Even if you were prescribed I would think it's foolish. The reason why I say that is because you admitted you are a recreational drug user as I once was. That more than likely means you have a addictive personality like I do too. Hence being on here to deal with PMO addiction. I've known a lot of people to die from over dosing on Xana.x. My best suggestion is quit doing drugs, they are fucking with your mind like they did me. Quit while your ahead buddy. Try eating better and working out to get rid of anxiety and stress. It's not gonna make you feel better overnight but overtime it will. Get well and stop the drugs my friend, they aren't doing you any favors. Trust me on that.

 

I think anything artificial maybe good in the short term, but is bad in the long term, just like PMO

 

Try to observe what a natural life would look like and follow the same.
Sleep pattern
Diet
Sexual conduct and you shall know it from within,
And work at it without

 

As already stated, the benzodiazepines are too addictive to take every day. Their best use is considered to be prn (as needed). With other drug problems/addictions, you are also better off consulting with a physician. In the US, I have seen anti-depressants prescribed as a first line defense against anxiety instead of benzos. In any case, it is best to get it from a licensed medical professional. They will absolutely treat anxiety for you. There are many medications that may help that don't have the side effects of benzos. Another trouble with xanex is the short half life. It makes it more addictive since you may seek a higher dose response.

Taking a couple of them was likely about twice what you should have started with. xanex is powerful for me even at a low .25 mg dose. With higher doses you are likely to build tolerance faster and be more drowsy.
