Best brands when it comes to the alps

[Back2Good]

Well, I like Tranax and Alprax just fine and they are cheaper than Mylans

(Here it comes... Ewwww...India meds.. yuk! They're weak!!)

I'm not sure how you folks all judge alprazolam, by the buzz you get or what.. I know if you've been taking them on a regular basis for a while, you will have a tolerance and get no buzz unless you swallow them by the handful. Again, I take a couple of mg a day for one reason.. Because I'm addicted and keep those horrible WDs away, and those yucky India meds work as well as any for that. =)

Toddles!

You probably already know this, but at some point, you want to taper down to something with a longer half-life, like Klonopin and then maybe Valium.

That's "accepted science", I know - But I've been there and done that, and both Klonopin and Valium don't allow me to function at work, where Alprazolam does.  Oh, don't get me wrong, I love an occasional Valium when nothing else will get me to sleep...But their long half-life is what makes them an occasional indulgence for me - If I were to take them daily I'd stumble through the day with dilated pupils every day, and no one wants to see that.

That's the problem with an addiction to Alprazolam (which my prescribing Doctor cheerfully put me on the dark road to 11 years ago now, starting with 2mg daily, then raising it to 3mg daily) - Alprazolam's shorter half-life makes it much easier to manage my dosage so that I'm never "buzzed", or zoned out - Of course the huge tolerance I've built assists in that regard as well.

The Ashton method and its compatriots have proven that they work over the years - But for folks who work long hours in stress-intensive jobs, they aren't the ideal, at least in my case.  After I read up on Alprazolam a year or two after having been prescribed it I raised the question of addiction with my Doc, and he replied matter of factly "Oh yes, this is a medication you'll be on for life".

Well, thanks!  I mean thanks, truly, for ridding me of the panic attacks that were ruining my life...But "thanks" for putting me on a medication I may well not be able to have prescribed by another Doctor when I move back home to God's country.
