I read your message as saying you were having spasms while on these meds. Am I right? I
have been on Xanax for a very long time. Actually, a 1 mg dose for 11 years. Never had that problem as you describe. I did however try
Tradazone [spelling]. Took 1 pill and threw the bottle away. :-] That night I had the feeling that my mind wanted sleep but my legs were running the marathon. Not for me!! Different meds affect people differently. As far as coming off drugs. At the low dosages such as I am taking I have no problems coming off. No drug withdrawals but in short time my anxiety/insomnia returns. May take a week or a month but it does. Not a withdrawal symptom but rather the way it was pre any meds. It is when you keep increasing your dosage does a true addiction come and then withdrawal can be very difficult. I am lucky in that I have never had to face that problem.
