Hi, I have beeen taking Xanex for 30 years, I started at .25 and have worked up to 3mg.s per day. I take most of the time at night. Once in a while I take 1/2 to 1 during the day if my panic really kicks in, however it has been 99% ONLY at night.
I called for my usual Refill a few days ago and theGP that has prescibed it for the last 12 years said she had Voided my Xanex script, I needed to go to a Physc. She had told me in Dec. to go to a Physc. because every Anit-deprees. she had given me had not worked, she never mentioned Xanex. I think I know "why" she did thid this ? I talked to a therapist (in her practice) and was crying my eyes out about the side effcts, memory loss, fits of rage, cannot concentrate, aggitated etc... I told him someone should be "responsible" for giving me this "dangerous drug" for so many years !
Now what do I do ? I have NO MONEY and only Medicare. I have recently taken on the care of my 2 tear old Grandchild while my son is fighting for Custody and I have 12 to 15 hours a day. I fhe goes before the Judge and my husband and I are her "babysitters", I can't be in "withdrawl" or in a REHAB, that would be VERY BAD in the Judges eyes, I am sure he would think "well the Grandma is a drug addict" she does'nt need to be watching this child ! My son cannot afford daycare !
I have lost my appetite and have been in a Panic since the Dr.s Nurse told me this on the phone 2 days ago, I had to take a xanex because of this news ! I was Shocked !
If she is afraid of Liability because of what i said, I think it's a little too late ? What the H*** is she thinking ?
I am almost out of Xanex and I don't have any money to hop from one Physc. to another till I find one that WILL prescribe it !!! I a in a panic just THINKING about it !!!
Please Any and All suggestions ,comments etc... will be appreciated .
The Dr. said she told me in dec. and that should have given me plenty of time to find a physc. It was her NURSE and it was about the anti-depress. Not Xanex !!! It was on the phone, not even in person !!
Thanks, terrfied13
