blcpd1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hey just wanted to know if it is normal to feel a hangover type effect from Benzos? Yesterday was the first time I've taken one. I took as prescribed and not anymore. I took .5 in morning and .5 at 9pm. I guess I could half the dose and see what happens. I read a lot about how addictive these are and just want to know from others if there is a risk of dependence if taken as prescribed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisiforgot Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 There is a huge risk of becoming very dependant and possibly addiction to xanax. I haven't taken it so i'm unsure on the hungover feeling but I would be very careful when taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sras Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I take 0.25 mg PRN and it makes me go to sleep. It's usually the best sleep I get so I wake up feeling pretty refreshed but don't feel the comedown(?) because I've slept through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netsavy006 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 If you take the medication as prescribed, the risk of dependence is lower, and don't adjust your dose without speaking to your doctor first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laume Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I think as with all meds, everyone is different... I take 1 mg in the am with my other meds and never get sleepy/hung over. I do want to switch to a longer lasting one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
