The Time Has Come

A personal story in the experience: I Love Xanax
I 'm going to stop taking it.  It's just not the same as it used to be.  I mean, sometimes it is, but you never know exactly how it's going to affect you.  Sometimes I take it and it does what it's supposed to; the anxiety eases it's grip and i just feel like a normal person.  And then other times I take it and I just get irritable and depressed as hell.  It's just not worth it.  And no matter how much I take, it doesn't feel like enough.  Xanax plays that trick on you; you just want to eat it like candy.  It's better than candy.

Twice yesterday I told my husband something and he said something to the effect of, "Yeah, I know, we just talked about that last week.  Remember?"  Of course I don't remember;  I was on xanax last week.  Screw that.

I'm going to return what I've got to the person I got it from and tell them to stop giving it to me.  I swear to god I am.

I quit taking it a month ago and I haven't had any trouble with it. Much easier than I thought it would be.

I wouldn't say I took it for fun because it wasn't fun. I took it because I felt like I needed it to get through the day. I took it because I do suffer from anxiety and depression, and I wanted to be numb because it hurts to exist. I just happen to be on an upswing right now, probably hypomanic, so life is grand right now and I don't feel like I need it right at this point. I'm sorry you are suffering but you shouldn't make assumptions about me, you know? It's not my fault you don't have access to it.
