How do I get Xanax?

[EmO_tionAlChick]

I am to scared and panicy if I were to visit a physiciatrist and I dont have friends to give me bars. So how can Igo about getting bars? I am so desperate to try anything that will make me feel better and do things in public, im tired of just staying home and not having a job.

Not sure where youre located but its fairly easy to obtain in Mexico legitimately. That's what I did. Just gotta be wary of the people on the street who claim they can hook you up hah.

Or if you have a friend who has health insurance - pay em $20 to see if their doctor will prescribe it to them. Your friends gotta know what to say to get it otherwise the doctors gonna think she just wants it for recreational use and she'll get denied.

Dont bother trying to get it online at one of those internet pharmacies. It's a class IV drug and no one can legally ship it with out a prescrip. Lot of places say they can do it but theyre just bullshitting.

Don't get addicted to that shit. Believe me... Do yourself a favor and see a therapist instead or try some SSRIs firs. Benzos should only be used if nothing else works.

SSRIs are going to fuck up your brain worse than Xanax. Sure, it's addictive, but it has a way better reputation as far as results go for panic attacks.

As for obtaining it, I would recommend you just see a shrink. Their job is to help people just like us. They will welcome you into their office and do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. They ask personal questions, but it's purely in an attempt to MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.

Back to the Xanax though...Don't ask for Xanax specifically, because that's what pill fiends do and it will send up a red flag to the doctor. Just describe your panic attacks and how they have a negative impact on your life and the doc will probably give you the script you're looking for. It sounds like your panic is really limiting your life so I guarantee you'll feel much better after your first visit to the psychiatrist. Trust me on this one.

Xanax is great at first. Then your body gets used to it and you have to take more and more Xanax to get the same effect. This is called tolerance. So if you get on it, you will likely stay on it and keep increasing the dose until you get to a high amount. Then there are horrible side effects, like sleepiness and rebound anxiety. Eventually you will want to quit it and it will be hell because withdrawal is a bitch. Most people can't get off it because withdrawal is hell. The longer you are on it and the bigger the dose, the harder it will be to get off it. I'm in this situation now where I am having tolerance problems and I hate the rebound anxiety. As soon as I am finished with school, in about 5 months, I am going to "try" to get off Xanax, because I hate the side effects, especially the rebound anxiety. I hate the tolerance too.

Doctors don't like to prescribe Xanax and other benzos for a reason! So only take it as a last resort. Nothing else helped me, so I had to use it as a last resort. I literally tried every SSRI out there and many multiple times and high dosages and none of them helped. Tried some other drugs that didn't work either, so after going throught that, the doctors gave me benzos, since nothing else was helping me.

Sometimes I wonder if benzos have made my anxiety worse and made it last over an extended period of time with the rebound anxiety, tolerance, etc. and the fact that since I had that, I didn't need to try therapy. The problem is, benzos just treat the symptoms. They don't get to the root of the problem. If you use them instead of getting at the root of the problem with therapy, you will never get rid of your anxiety!

Long term use of benzos can damage your brain and other parts of your body too. The best thing to do is get some psychotherapy and try some SSRIs. If you get better, you can try to get off the SSRIs later and it will be a lot easier than getting off benzos.

I'm going through Xanax addiction, and I've gone through tons of SSRIs and other antidepressants and the only thing that ever had a positive effect for me have been benzos. It is addictive and tolerance does develop over time, but used correctly, it can be managed well by a psychiatrist with your regular input on it's effectiveness. Psychotherapy is obviously needed in over to overcome anxiety. There is no such thing as a magic pill that cures anxiety, but it works better than SSRIs for panic attacks.

I currently have a bottle of xanax that a ARNP prescribed for me that I just use once in a while. I only take it when I know I'm gonna be really anxious but I'm not sure if it actually does anything for me.

I don't take it regularly as I don't want to become tolerant of it like I did with clonazapem (used to take about .5 to 1 mgs per day) which was a bitch to get off of :?

 

[SilentType]

I was on klonopin for about a year and a half and was taking 3mg a day, now I've been taking 3-4 mg of Xanax per day. I started at 1.5 mg per day. I'm dependent as hell on em... :?

Stay away from BENZOS!
Dangerous stupid things

If you save em only for the times you need em most, like for job interviews, blind dates or whatever, it wont be a problem. You just gotta demonstrate some self control. The fact that the more you take it, the less effective it is, should be enough incentive to only use it sparingly.

I have to go through the same shit with Ambien. My doctor will only give me so much, so I gotta save em for when I'll really need em... and it's for the better cause if I took it every night my body would be fully tolerant to it within a week.

i absolutly love xanax...that's the problem. if you can only use them "once in a while", awesome. if not, i would suggest finding another way to manage your anxieties.

 

[sullyS25]

Xanax is not the way to go, it is for occasional anxiety not every day since you are always anxious around people. I had the same mindset but sought out painkillers because they didnt make me as tired as xany bars. The instant cure works temporarily then ends up making your anxiety worse. Not to mention it makes you depressed. I realize some people take them as prescribed and that is great but taking them every time you are in a social situation will surely lead to addiction. Please seek other forms of treatment, that road is not one you want to take. In the end you will do what you want but I had to put it out there as I am a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. I have been there and it is a horrible road that makes things much worse.

I find xanax to be a life saver. But because im only 20, nearly 21, i am in the prime of my life so what will i be like in 10 or 20year?? God only knows but drink, drugs, pills are never the answer.

Short term solution...but life is long term, thats the problem!

Im currently on xanax and i wish i never tried them, well actully honestly i do, but because i have addiction issues it is difficult for me to just say ah one hear and one there. So now im dependant on the. Im not physically addicted to them but now if i didnt have one going somewhere where id usually have one...i dont think i could go to that event/situation.

So basically they are too good to be true to help anxiety - if you get me - because now im anxious from worrying if i didnt have any.

Benzos suck in the long run. Over my 5 year history of panic disorder, i've beenprescribed all the major ones except valium. 4 years into it i went from .5mg 3x per day to 2 mg 3x per day for the same effect, and it still wasnt doin what it used to. Its good once in a while, but after a while theyre no use at all so dont overuse them. Just a word of advice from someone who has been down benzo road...

I have Xanax. I keep them in my pocket at all time. Do I use them? No. They are more like a talisman at this point in my life. Funny thing is, if I don't have them in my pocket, I really freak out. Taking xanax is great if you only take them a once in a while. My twenty pill presciption has lasted me five years. It is great to have them when things get really really bad. But for me it is just knowing that I have them that makes a difference. If you take them all the time it sucks because you develop a tolerance for them, and then you need more to cope. When you try and get off of them it is.......much harder than the original problem I am afraid.

Exactly! If you are responsible and dont abuse them you are fine. In my case i used them every day, multiple times a day and it multiplied the original anxiety and depression by 10 it felt like.
