[QUOTE="jal, post: 396783, member: 3477"] I have never personally taken Xanax, but I can tell you my father had a very scary experience with it. My dad is a recovering alcoholic who has been clean for 8 years. He attends AA 2x a week and is a frequent meeting leader and sponsor. He has embraced the program. He was experiencing major work related stress which was causing anxiety and depression and went to his gp to discuss possible medication options. He ended up seeing the physicains assistant who put him on Xanax. He had never taken it before in his life. It made him feel better, so he took a little more. He went nutty on it, slurred speech, stumbling, sleeping at weird hours. It was getting him high. (this was in a 3-4 day period of first taking the medication). Luckily, this was addressed by my mother who called his gp. Gp said that Xanax to a recovering alcoholic is like pouring alcohol down their throat. Needless to say that script was tossed and my father immediatley went into counseling and was given an alternative medicine that helped him through his work related anxiety and stress and thankfully he didn't loose all he has worked for.
