Ignorant about Withdrawls, Please Help

[middleman760]

Hey all, SWIM has recently started taking xanax about a week ago unprescribed. SWIM has taken about 2-3 mg a day for a week straight. SWIM has heard of horrible stories of benzo withdrawls that can lead to seizures and even can be fatal. So, for the week that i've taken 2-3mg a day, SWIM intends to cold turkey after SWIM finishes SWIM's last bar tomorrow and then stop taking it entirely(just wanted to experience it).

SWIM is kind of scared to cold turkey because SWIM has heard that you shouldn't abruptly stop taking xanax or the withdrawls can kick in hard and fast. SWIM has contemplated with SWIM' self, saying that SWIM has only been on it for a week straight so SWIM shouldn't have any addiction/withdrawl problems, but SWIM is still skeptical.

So SWIM's question is: Do you guys think it's ok to just stop taking it after only been taking 2-3 mg a day for a week without having any withdrawls?. I'm totally naive to this so I apologize but some opinions would be nice, Thanks!

Oh, and another question, SWIM has an interview for a pharmacy clerk position on monday, and SWIM's pretty sure he'll get screened. Will a place like this screen for benzo's, because SWIM has seen various drug tests and has only seen them test for Opiats, THC, Meth, and Coke. If so, it looks like SWIM is gonna have to do the whole "tape a bag of piss to swim's leg" technique!...HAHA,

Although I'm more of a lurker with all the information I need already posted everywhere, I thank you for your opinion/advise!

SWIM has heard of stories of turtles getting all messed up for 3-4 days, sometimes a week, and run hard on all kinds of horrible things. In comparison, some of these horrible things are perhaps worse than SWIY's problem?

The stories about turtles that SWIM has heard are horrible. Things like being locked up in room, sick, not happy at all, sad, depressed, angry, regretful, hot, cold, thirsty, headaches.... on and on and on. It's horrible, but from what I hear, most turtles live!

SWIY's other choice is to go to the ER and confess about taking that dose for one week and ask to be monitored through withdrawals!

If SWIY are applying to work around chems, SWIM would expect the RxShoppe to do the extra benzo screen.

Well turns out SWIM was just being paranoid and SWIM feels fine after a couple days without taking any, but now SWIM has a new problem:

SWIM got the job and now SWIM has to take that drug test. Should SWIM go ahead and get someone else's piss?
Or will xanax show up after a week of using 2-3 mg daily(Then a week without using at all)?

SWIM has heard that xanax is out of your sysem fast but then agin SWIM has also heard that it stays detectable for about a month.

What do you guy think? SWIM thinks to go with the buddy's urine.

Also, do you guys know if they are aloud to watch you take the test for a job? Or is that only for like probation and stuff?

SWIM doesn't know detection times or the actual test they use. SWIM knows there is a benzo detection, but there are a lot of benzos... SWIM would not worry much about it.

Instead of SWIY taping SWIY's piss to SWIY's leg, look into a wizzinator.... sp is wrong - dried pee + heater + fake wee-wee.

Funny SWIY asked about watching - the wizzinator will help with that - just pick the right color! Look it up, yes it is $$$, but worth long term investment?

SWIY decide.

Best of Luck.
