Title: Xanax
Post by forgetfulnot on Oct 17th, 2002, 11:29pm
I have tried this in small doses before dinner and one hour before bedtime.

Results, better appetite, sleep all night long, no more tossing and turning.

Anyone one else tried Xanax?

Lee  :D

...nope lee...but I have tried this:

"St. Stephen"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
("Saint Stephen" composed and written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter. Reproduced by arrangement with Ice Nine Publishing Co., Inc. (ASCAP))

Saint Stephen with a rose
In and out of the garden he goes
Country garland in the wind and the rain
Wherever he goes the people all complain

Stephen prosper in his time
Well he may and he may decline
Did it matter? does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how

Wishing well with a golden bell
Bucket hanging clear to hell
Hell halfway twixt now and then
Stephen fill it up and lower down
And lower down again

Lady finger dipped in moonlight
Writing `what for?' across the morning sky
Sunlight splatters dawn with answers
Darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye

Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow,
What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned
Several seasons with their treasons
Wrap the babe in scarlet covers call it your own

Did he doubt or did he try?
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills
One man gathers what another man spills

Saint Stephen will remain
All he's lost he shall regain
Seashore washed by the suds and the foam
Been here so long he's got to calling it home

Fortune comes a crawlin, Calliope woman
Spinning that curious sense of your own
Can you answer? Yes I can,
but what would be the answer to the answer man?

High green chilly winds and windy vines in loops around the
twining shafts of lavender, they're crawling to the sun

Underfoot the ground is patched with climbing arms of ivy
wrapped around the manzanita, stark and shiny in the breeze

Wonder who will water all the children of the garden when they
sigh about the barren lack of rain and droop so hungry 'neath the
sky...

William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch no
furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before

;D

I totally agree not4, but

Other factors other than heroin play into my malady, due to HCV I haven’t eaten a decent meal in weeks, but I hear where you’re coming from. May decline / does it matter know, that is a forgone conclusion.

Just as the pot smokers in California smoke to increase their appetitive I found this drug to have the same effect in small quantities.

May help a cluster head or two also?

I took Xanax for anxiety attacks and it is great!  Don't think it did much for my clusters....actually, I think I was in remission when taking xanax.  Normal remission though.  Interesting... I don't seem to get anxiety attacks while getting clusters...either that or just don't worry about the anxiety while in episode.

I dunno.

But I do like xanax.  There have been times in the last year that I wish I had not gone to non med treatment of my anxiety attacks!

The xanax works great for my atypical menieres too.  I use meclizine for that now.  

ramble, ramble....

Hi Kim, my post was not really intended to help folks with the C/H deal, however seems like there are more and more of the population dealing with HCV. May be off topic but so what. :-* Yes I am in a good mood tonight.

Well Lee, they have pasted the name atypical Menieres to my dizziness episodes.  My dizziness lasts only for seconds instead of hours (Thank you God! or Whoever!)  I don't have ringing in the ears (but I do get a high pitched whine, kinda like electronics whine at times)  and a feeling of fullness in one ear.  They couldn't find anything else wrong with me so they said although my symptoms did not jive with menieres that is the closest they could come with out the (godawful I'm not gonna do it) tests.  They want to see my Nystagmus!  (those dirty bastards! LOL)  nystagmus being the dancing the eyes sometimes do when in a dizzy spell.  I told them I have it (the dancing eyes).  I won't let them induce it.  But, since the meclizine seems to work and that or valium is what they would prescribe anyway (another thing I have that has no cure...jeez!)  I just take the meclizine.  

Sherry

BTW, while I took the Xanax it seemed to work very well too for preventing the dizziness.  I only took a quarter tab of the .25 tabs a day for the most part.  Most xanax I ever took in one day was 1 of the .25 tabs (My prescription said take 1 tab 4 times a day!)

I took Xanax on 1 cycle with Pred. to take some of jumpiness out of the Pred. It got a little rough about 2 weeks after I stopped though.
