"Never get started on this drug , I warn you ! Yes I give it a 10 but its something you should take every once in awhile never longer than 2-3 months at a time, I&#039;m 100% dependent on these pills, have been for a decade and it started at a routine check up!  The worst addiction I&#039;ve ever seen. And I&#039;m a recovering herion addict. That wasn&#039;t easy but a cake walk to ever getting off xanax. I&#039;m on 1 mg 3x a day today, just like I was 10 years ago. If my Dr even mentions trying to stop giving me this medicine I freak out when I don&#039;t have xanax to feel &quot;normal&quot; iihave seizures, chronic pain, its horrible! However i have to have these pills, and pharmaceutical companies knew what they were doing . ever watch MTV. I swear every TV show mentions Xan"
