Last Night's Dinner

Photobucket

Xanax. Check!
Champagne. Check!
To do list. Check!
Ciggies. Check!

Food? F$ck it, I was too stressed out to eat! lol

Now don't worry, I didn't REALLY mix the xanax and bubbly - I just thought it was a funny picture.

I'm being picked up by the car service in an hour! I need to get in the shower!! Rumor has it both Meredith Viera and Tom Browkaw might be on our flight! It there's any even slightly famous I WILL get an update to ya'll. If you don't hear from me you'll know it was mere mortals on my fancy charter flight. Look for me at Opening Ceremonies! Love you all! Send ME the gossip while I'm away!

xoxo

Have an awesome trip. I'm sure the sights will be epic. Watch it with that Xanax - the brief period I had it was too much for my poor system. Half tab did nothing, so I took another full tab and the next thing I know it's the next morning and I'm drooling on myself watching PBS.

On the flipside that would probably be a decent way to take such a long flight!

My name is Robert Kegan and i would like to show you my personal experience with Xanax.

I am 19 years old. Have been on Xanax for 60 days now. I have periodic panic attacks, particularly at social gatherings, riding in cars, and walking into rooms full of people (i.e. late to class). I felt that the medicine worked, but I felt that it created urges to take more than directed when the rebound anxiety hit, so I switched from alprazolam to clonazepam (Klonopin). I think xanax is great for airplanes and adjunctive treatment with ssri's, but by itself I don't think xanax has much too offer except as a short term treatment for panic attacks, klonopin is less sedating and seems to prevent future anxious episodes without causing cravings, and tolerance seems to build up much slower than xanax does.

I have experienced some of these side effects -
I sometimes felt invisible, like nobody could notice anything I was doing. Occasionally it would make me fall asleep if I had to stay in one spot for too long. After a fairly short period of time I would feel moderate rebound anxiety.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
