Thanks!

For the kind words about sissiness.

I did some more reading and Xanax usage does something to the GABA (not sure what that is) production in your brain (so since it's part of the brain, it probably is darn important). My poor brain is pretty hyperactive right now because of us messing with this GABA stuff and that is what is causing the withdrawal symptoms. This same source says that the person coming off Xanax needs to be in control of the reduction schedule and that hurrying is not a good idea.

So after a good Friday with Stew and El but a rotten today, I'm going to go to Lake Michigan and see what watching the waves plus a little more time to heal does to all this GABA chaos.
