“I began to take 10mg X 4 of Xanax each day from the past twenty years. It used to help me relieve my anxiety and make me sleep better. Sometimes I used two pills per day for greater effects and so I had a stockpile of Xanax always. Sometime later my doctor changed prescription to alprazolam 2mg tablets to be taken for about four times every day. I encountered some great difference as it worked well in the beginning. Initially, I felt the effect of the pill after 30 minutes upon consumption and also I required only two pills per day. Presently, I take 4 per day which is around 8 mg and despite that I don’t get the effect. I am not sure about its withdrawal effects but I have heard that it’s quite hard to discontinue as I’ve been on them for about thirty years now. I am not sure what to presume though I assume I would feel more alert and energetic.”
