Treating Alcohol Withdrawal

My doctor prescribed Xanax to treat alcohol withdrawal symptoms and also reduce the panic, as I just quit drinking. Does anyone have experience with the help of Xanax for this? If so, any suggestions on how it took a long time before symptoms of alcohol withdrawal went, etc., etc. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

You're just replacing one dependency with another. This is not good. I can not believe your doctor has recommended this.

It is important to take the Xanax as prescribed to avoid any dependency problems.


The goal is not to pass drug ... Xanax will help take the show to deal with the withdrawal of alcohol, which can actually be dangerous to your health (obviously in the long term, alcohol is bad for your health, but withdrawal from alcohol, short term may actually kill you if it is severe enough). Sometimes, the addition of a drug is needed to get the person out of a drug abused for their safety. Otherwise, he would need to take small amounts of alcohol each day and slowly drink less and less, and this practice is unlikely to lead to the success of abstinence from alcohol.

I am using xanax for 8 years now. It's something soft and calm and simply allows a person to settle. It really is the best sleeping pill, but is not prescribed as such. Will the alcohol I think it's a bit like trying many other things to lighten the burden of life in our world. I quit smoking 9 months ago because I was so digusted by it. All these dependencies are few things that we use to help you feel better. Obviously, you've decided you do not want to drink because it's not help you. Stay strong and stay distracted. Mind you, drink lots of water, and find things that make you feel good. You do not want to be depressed, then find things that stimulate you and you like to replace the desire to consume alcohol to improve your mood. All these dependencies are emotional game, and distraction is the key. Sometimes, after one too many xanax when I wake up, I think my body is experiencing withdrawal symptoms, but in general it should relax. I tried like 11 different medications such as antidepressants, etc. and Xanax is the only one who helps me. If I'm really upset that I calm down in an instant. I can see how it help you stop drinking. It is a very mild sedative that I find healing is effective.
