"i started xanax 14 yrs ago after taking klonopin for years. my life changed for the better instantly. before xanax i was trapped in my own mind constantly worrying instead of enjoying my family! it has now become a curse. for years been on 4 mg daily and i have severe panic attacks, depression, and insomnia. 50mg of trazodone for insomnia is not helping so i use my xanax to sleep, then i run out early leading to detox.  i&#039;m just going in circles! discussed with my family about going to a detox center and starting over with other meds."
