HEAVY caution here! Check out what http://www.breggin.com/ has to say about
this! And Chapter 12 of the El Collie book.
My own (anecdotal, but personally convincing) experience of people taking
xanax was that it zombied them out thoroughly. It is said to be strongly
addictive, and I suspect that withdrawals from it are what put a friend of
ours into a long, frightening episode of depression, which led to months of
confinement and electroshock, causing memory loss she's only recently
returned from.
(Visiting us about a year ago, she walked up the street to a familiar
Mexican restaurant, took her meds, forgot where she'd been. When we got
worried and searched, she was talking to a couple of police who'd found her
weeping on a nearby corner. They wanted to help; she'd been trying to tell
them where her half-way house was, and couldn't remember that either.)
(I've known people who got pretty crazy without their meds, irrational
enough that I don't want to make a blanket condemnation of psychiatric
medications. But who can doubt that they are dangerous and much
over-prescribed?)
