I used to take 6mg Manx daily for my severe anxiety, after overdosing from being addicted i came off of it and said i wouldn't go back on it. two months later i cant take it anymore. the medicine really helped alto, and whenever i go to the hospitals I'm put on avian which helps alto too.

i want to go back on it, but am just scared i might overdose on it and accidental kill myself. I'm also scared i might get addicted and take too much like i did last time and kill myself accidental. but i really need the medicine.

what do you think i should do?

Speak with your doctor.

My father was an addict of prescription medication and he found the best solution was to have somebody else hold his pills for him so the temptation wasn't there.

Hey,

I've been put on the craziest things ever...the best being Manx. Every time, as soon as I felt like I was develop ping addiction, I stopped immediately and although I know it was not the wisest thing, I did it without consulting my doc. I experienced anxiety at a worse stage for a while but I'm still alive. Depressed, stressed out but alive. The fact is I didn't feel like the medicine was doing anything for me on the long run. It would work fine for 2-3 weeks but after wards I was going downhill. Talk to your doc and remember to get a second opinion as well.
Best,

The best thing is tell this to your doctor.I would like to make an suggestion this works
1.get a prescription for 3 day basis. and buy the drug form the pharmacy for 3 days. and again for three days. or else leave the drug with someone else and let him/her give you the medication.

i know your exact problem. i was on both Manx and avian, and have been for about four years, since i crashed a car very badly and didn't wake up for a while.

i have been on about 6 mg a day of Manx for these four years, and the two times i quit, i ended up almost dying.

i feel the medication, for those of us who need it is beneficial. I'm past the point of making excuses to people or myself about why I'm on medication. I'm on it because i have such a bad anxiety problem and PST that i can't leave my house in the morning without being on banzais.

as you said in the last line, "i really need the medicine." so do what you feel is right, just don't risk dying, and really do ask your psychiatrist his/her opinion. it's valuable.
