My 2nd attempt at withdrawl has gone so smoothly, I want to tell everyone what I've been taking. I take three times a day, a packet of powdered vitamins (which...

Thanks for the hug beth, It is good to know that this wouldn't last. However, can toxins stay in the body and cause problems years from now? Should people who...
Thanks, to everyone that read my post. Someone mentioned xanax withdrawal. So far in my life I have only had xanax 4 or 5 times including last night, I'm not...

Hello Nyia, I second Neal's advice, and stay away from Xanax. Today, I'm day 6 without any Benzo's (Xanax) 8-] Not too certain about Ativan??? I believe it...
