I didn’t even notice when the noise inside my head got louder than the world outside. It began subtly. I would lie awake in bed, rehearsing conversations that never happened.

Xanax Detox: More Than Just Irritability . Top Story - July 2025.
I was prescribed Xanax for severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It helped me function at first. But early on—and I mean right away—my doctor prescribed me 8 mg of extended release Xanax per day. That’s not a dosage I slowly worked up to. That was the starting point.

The Silence Between Us
By Nadeem Shah It had been 472 days since we last spoke. Not that I was counting—at least, not anymore. In the beginning, I counted everything. The days since the argument.
