I meant to add, if it's true your Xanax was stolen and you have no record of drug abuse, your doctor should just give you a new script for the Xanax.  This can be a dangerous drug to just stop if you're taking it regularly, so they should be amenable to getting you some more quickly.

invega is an antipsychotic for schizophrenia.  Do you have that?  And you really can't just up and quit these meds, especially Xanax -- they can have a wallop of a withdrawal.  You have to stop them slowly.  You say you have PTSD -- were you in the military?  I ask because most drug companies have programs to help people who can't afford medication, and veterans are better treated than others in this regard.
