That is very interesting Heather. While I'll still be careful w/ my xanax useage it does make me feel better. I really do believe that so long as you don't abuse your meds it's very unlikely to become addicted. I took narcotic pain relievers for 2 years. I took them exactly as prescribed and had absolutely no problems getting off of them when the time finally came.


Thanks for the 411

I have read alot on pain relief for those in chronic pain or pain from an illness such as ca. It does seem that giving the patient adequate pain relief does NOT produce addiction. I'm not sure if that translates the same way with benzodiazepines. But, it might. It does seem that folks who do develop a dependency on pain meds, alcohol, benzos,

As a journalism graduate, I am into finding the sources of info (and I always like a good link). Would you share with us the link where you got this scoop (and thanks for posting it)?

Thanks!

I am terrified of becoming addicted to Klonopin. My family has a history of drug/alcohol abuse and so I know that I am at a risk for becoming addicted. So I am just extra watchful with my meds. I only take them if prayer and taking it easy haven't eased the anxiety/panic in a few hours. My mom says I should take the Klonopin daily as it was first prescribed but I think that is a lot of medicine for an anxiety problem that is intermittent at best. She just hates it for me when I get so nervous and upset. But thank-you for this information.


Sincerely,


Julie

Hi everyone I asked Heather to post this article for me!
I read this article about xanax was
actually looking for one that I had read a few months ago
about xanax and never found the original one!
Apparently when you search a subject each time the search is
done the results are in different order!!
I am searching for the source of this part of the article
that Heather posted FOR ME!
SORRY!! I will look more tomorrow--- Judy
