I've been on Xanax for SO long,I cannot imagine getting off of it.i tried and it was just AWFUL.I won't even go there how awful,I'm sure many of you know exactly what it was like:(.I am scared now,My prior doctor is OUT of business,in other words is NOT around anymore.The doctor who prescribed me 60 2mgs per month.Now I do not know what to do.I am not into buying from the street.I do not know where to turn.I went to my OWN PRIMARY PHYSICIAN(a new one),and confided in him,that I've been on Xanax for this xyz ammount of time.He looks at me consescending:*( & than proceeds to tell me "here is a psychiatrist" @@ and do not come here in 2 weeks telling me you couldn't get an appointment with the psychiatrist.WELL HELLO.I could NOT get an appointment with the psychiatrist.They said the EARLIEST is JANUARY 5th,so Of course I took the appointment.I do not know what to do:( I am now seeking another physician,I am going to call every place and ask the secretary,if they prescribe Xanax.I simply cannot believe the doctor was not even going to prescribe it to me,it was like pulling teeth!I feel like a complete fool,and a victim as well.
When i was first on it,I was going through some severe panic attacks.The doctor gave me a prescription.I did NOT NOT NOT know it would cause a physical addiction.yes,that was so stupid on my part.Maybe denial??But the way my anxiety attack hits,I couldn't think so far ahead.I do not know if that makes sense.Alls I DO know is I'm scared to death.I do not know how I am going to get through this.The doctors gave it to me,and now the doctors take it away,wont prescribe me anymore.NOT TO MENTION,this doctor gave me .50mgs,when i always took 2mgs.It was NOT enough so I had to seek help ON THE STREET.I am SICK to my stomach about that.How is it that people can get it like nothing,but than somebody like me,who NEEDS it,can NOT get it all of a sudden!
