Yeah I guess I should say the reason they work for me. When I can't sleep 99% of the time it's because my mind won't stop thinking about stupid shit. It's like a radio tuned to the talk show of my mind. I'll be trying to fall asleep and my brain is like "oh yeah I like chicken.. tiddies rule... i really liked that new promise ring album... i wonder what mila kunis is doing right now" and I'm like "shut up and go to bed" so the xanax just more or less quites that and I can fall asleep.
Maaaaaaaaan, I am with you 100% on this whole post!!!
I have the same thing happen to me, at least 3 times a week & I lose hella sleep over it. I have to get up @ 5am, to be in SF by 8, & it'll be 2am & I am looking @ the clock thinking "Why cant I fucking sleep!?"
My mind is doing the same thing, just random shit, not a method to the madness at all.
But they put me on Xanax & Ativan a few years back, I was taking it 3 times a day, 1.5 mg each dose.
I got addicted as FUCK!
I knew I was getting hooked, I even told my woman that I was.
& tho my doctor said we would have to ween me off of them, I quit cold turkey.
BIG mistake.
I went though withdrawals for almost 8 months straight, every night.
I will never take benzos ever again.
Mr. Arson warned me about em when I was just playing with them, but my Dr. said as long as I kept the doses up I'd be fine.
I should have listened to Arson n the first place.
