Is There Clinical Help to Treat Unwanted Xanax Dependency That Doesn’t Treat a Person as a Drug Abuse Patient?

Question by Bernie: Is there clinical help to treat unwanted Xanax dependency that doesn’t treat a person as a drug abuse patient?
My wife has been prescribed Xanax for 12 years to alleviate the symptoms for panic/anxiety disorder. She has been admitted to the hospital in the past as dosages were increased to the point of lethargy, confusion, coordination difficulties and other injurious side effects. At the hospital she suffered a terrifying crash that ultimately resulted with medical advice to continue the drugs.

The use of the herb St. Johns’s Wort, Sam-e, vitamin C, B-complex, Omega3, Gingko, CoQ10 and other supplements have helped with her efforts to get off Paxil and cut her dose of Xanax to a minimum over time.

She has improved her health and is determined to cope with life without the drug that has caused more harm than good. There are clinics for drug abuse but they are not geared for a true unwanted medical dependency.

If anyone reading this has a good resource online or in the Lakeland/Tampa Bay area please post it.

xanax is an addictive drug.
she should not still be taking xanax.
antidepressants are the best way to help anxiety, ocd and depression. herbal supplements don’t help nearly as much.

she just needs to stop taking xanax. go to therapy.
and who knows…i guess she can go to drug rehab.
