I know multiple people who are my age and are addicted to xanax for anxiety. I told this bytch one time that we all have anxiety and you gotta deal with it rather than covering the feelings up with xanax.

How does xanax help anxiety exactly? I took half a bar once and it made me relaxed to the point where I didn't feel like doing shyt...I was zoned the fukk out. I can't see how taking xanax contributes to being a productive individual.

pill heads have to be the most worthless motherfukkers i've ever seen, when it comes to addiction. they whine all the fukkin time and act like someone should feel sorry for them.:ufdup: i'd be very suprised if i were to ever meet a rich pill head not named rush limbaugh. i suppose the most blame should go to the doctors that prescribe meds to children that are so young they shouldn't even be taking them in the first place. that's on top of the fact that they usually don't even need them. my cousin got hooked on them when he had some mrsa that had spread through his arm. he's been down nothing but a terrible road since then. i'm suprised he's not dead yet.

It does eliminate ALL anxiety while you're high on it. But completely robs you of drive to do anything (like you said). Only time I ever did it I just fell asleep. I don't understand how people can even abuse it because I'd be asleep all fukkin day on that shyt. It makes people steal and do stupid shyt because they don't care. My friend crashed into a light pole on xanax and said he didn't even care at the time. I knew another couple of girls who were on it all day everyday, they'd sleep til like 6pm.

got prescribed lamictal and zoloft. but i refuse to go on any meds. and yeah xanax doesn't do shyt.


i'm reading some alexander lowen stuff right now. and he had interesting theories about how a lot of psychological problems were tied to the body (vs. all this focus on mental imbalances).


but a lot of people do need to be on them. i knew a dude that was schizoaffective & he could be dangerous when off his meds. my last shrink was on antidepressants

How come the Chinese and Asians who live longer than almost any race on earth don't need all these pills to survive? I struggle to understand this...

No lie I went to the doctors last week and I was offered a 'menu' of medications. Xanax, Viagra, and some other sh1t and I'm like no I'm good, basically he offers this to anyone over 35, it's out of control.

Mostly vegetarian/piscatarian diet
rice which digests quickly (natural white rice not the processed garbage we eat) is also high in protein.
Active lifestyle well into 70's and 80's

I was prescribed Percs, and a bunch of other stuff after my wisdom tooth surgery last year, do I count in the 70%? Or is this a long term type of deal?

Or how about people that take meds because they have sensitive sweat glands, toe fungus, or have bad acne? Or what about the prescription toothpaste you can get to remove stains on your teeth?

:leon:

I mean, there are so many different prescription remedies for everyday problems, it is not surprising this number is so high...

you can kill that by taking raw apple cider vinegar & raw coconut oil. and cutting down of sugars & white flour foods

Kill what?

Im not saying I take any of those prescriptions(other than percs when i got my wisom teeth out). I was just giving examples of the many reasons people take prescription drugs... it isn't always about anti depressant, xanax, ADD, etc...

Let's just call it what it is...70 percent of Americans are Drug Addicts. But the way the media has created a monster out of the word addict it can only be applied to people who are hooked on "illegal" drugs. Like there is some sort of difference. Now you have these legal drug dealers out here making a killing on a country of addicts. Crazy right....I had a friend who was a Star Football player. Got drafted and everything. But he got injured. Needed surgery and then got hooked on OXY. Man, that shyt ruined his life. He smoked weed before but man he got hooked on "dem pills", started missing practices, started slowing down on the field....sad ass story now people look at him like he blew it instead of treating him a person who has an addiction. That shyt ain't easy to break. We all have addictions to something. Drinking (which is just as bad as drugs if you ask me), smoking cigs or black and milds, they are all forms of addiction, Americans need to wake up...we are all addicts at the end of the day. You just need to wake up and see who is making money off of you and what is it costing you in the end. My friend ended up leaving the NFL and now plays in arena football. Addiction brehs..its serious.
