@margot69 Hello I took Xanax about 12 years ago. I did not know it was addictive but my doctor said a lot of people liked it. I never worried about going off meds until the last 5 years. Everything has gone crazy. It worked wonders during my divorce. I was taken off after the divorce. Never had any problems that I know. It worked well. I was put on Seroquel meds for 2 weeks to sleep and taken off. They said I did not need it. No problems that I know.
