If you are arrested they won't give you heroin, Molly, meth but they will give you Alprazolam otherwise you might have a seizure and die.10mgs a day of Alprazolam for 6 months is going to be living hell to get off of. That's 5 bars (a 2mg bar is the highest dosage of the drug manufactured) a day.
Even with a doctor and a patient that follows all instructions detox from Alprazolam is a battle and hell.
Now imagine Ethan whose got so much Memphis in him that following doctor's orders is gay.
This guy is in for a world of pain no matter what even if he doesn't stop using he now needs to have a supply of Alprazolam at all time no matter where he travels.
he's got to be counting pills.
He's going to up the dose to still get a buzz and when he's traveling find himself without enough pills to stop withdrawal
I've seen people who only took 2mg daily run out of pill and go into withdrawal and describe it as hell.
