"I use to be addicted to xanax even though my first doctor in NC told me the drug was not addicted. I have gone from taking 3mg of xanax to almost not taking the drug at all.  I can focus much better and the sleep is unbelievable. A dreamlike state.  I sometimes sleep through my first alarm,  but eventually wake up.  At first I feel groggy, but after a shower I feel great. I feel like with any other drug your body builds up a tolerance and my doctor has gradually increases my dosage. This is a wonder drug for me.  I wish I would have known about it before getting addicted to xanax. The blurred vision eventually goes away."
