I am not personally taking Xanax, but this is my story, My fiance and I lost our son in March of 2009 who was born 4 months premature and only survived three hours. After about a week, my fiance began to expierence anxiety attacks so we went to talk to the doctor. Knowing his medical history and his ADHD, she started him off on some other meRAB like Valium. After about a week or so he went backing telling the doc they were not helping, and in the end he got RX'ed Xanax for a suicial thought he had. He has doing fine on them the the point where he told he doc he wanted to ween himself off because he felt he didnt need them any longer and was put on Zoloft. Now the issue is that he is some days taking 5-6 pills a day (unknown pill mg) and is drinking on top of that. I have been doing some research and I want to get him help. This medicine is changing him into a different person and I dont know what to do. Im so afraid that Im going to lose him. If anyone can help me, I need any information I can get. Please help me!
 
Hi,

First I would like to express my condolences to you and your fiancee on your loss. I suffered a stillbirth at 8 months and remeraber all too well how hard it was to cope with it.

Next, is he taking multiple xanax or zoloft? I don't know what the side effects are from taking that many zoloft, but I don't think it could be good. Are you 2 in counseling or talking through this? Each person deals with this type of loss differently and he may just be trying to escape the feelings that he has over the loss of your son.

I think that you need to talk to him and find out what he is feeling and if he is having problems dealing with this. Are there any support groups in your area that you can attend together? Talking sometimes helps, but it takes time.

I hope he finRAB peace with this and that he is able to get some help with his overuse of medications.

Let me know if you need to talk, I have a good ear and know what you are going through.

Namaste. Mags
 
He is taking lots of Xanax mostly. But other days he takes just the prescribed zoloft. After the baby we communicated about everything and talked about the baby all the time. It helped at first and then the anxiety attacks led to the pills and here we are. I have asked him out couseling for the loss of the baby and for the pills but he says that he dosent want to go. My thoughts too were that he is just doing this to cover up whats going on with the baby feelings. I asked him to go talked to someone but he wont do it. We broke up two days ago but still have been talking. He told me this morning that he realizes his mistakes with the pills and his decision in our relationship and stated that he flushed all his pills today. So maybe somthing is finally waking him up! I just want things to get better@!
 
It takes time and lots of it to overcome both issues. The issue of the pills will sort it self out sooner than the loss that was suffered.

If he knows that he has hit his rock bottom (which I think he has), it will be easier for you to help him work through this.

I'll send positive thoughts your way.

Namaste
