I discovered yesterday that dropping a medication like that without doing it gradually can cause brain damage. If anyone is looking to switch or stop medications that affect brain function, do a little research first and bring this concern up with your doctor. It’s my understanding that for some medications, like Xanax, it’s best to taper off in order to avoid injury.
Xanax is straight up a narcotic too so you better be damn careful with the withdrawals. But other semi related note I could take 1mg of that shit back in high school and get FUCKED up for like a whole day and a half. Like 30 hours later I wake up still high as fuck and it feels like 3 hours passed. Remember only like 2 things that happened. I don’t even have anxiety I could imagine what it does for those who have panic attacks n stuff
Aren’t you supposed to manage meds dosage with a medical professional, even in the US, or do people commonly eyeball this? Because stopping those treatments, even for switching molecules, is really part of the treatment itself.
