> Hi only.., I would definitely taper like a previous post suggested tell your doctor to help and then start slow. but obvious there is a problem to be addressed here, and that is your anxiety and panic attacks. some medication is great ! for anxiety , I take 3 mg. of xanax a day and I function so much better with it than with out it .so if it is helping you might want to stay on at least some of it.. if you have not tried a neuroleptic such as zyprexa, you might want to give it a shot . I am taking only 2.5 milligrams of zyprexa at night and I can feal the effects through out the next day, as far as alleiviating some of the anxiety and panic feelings. good luck to youand god bless!! rog..
Thank you for all the advice. My doctor is still giving me the 10 mg a day so I am putting what I dont take back so I have it for times I cannot get my meds...which is a good thing because my doctor was surposed to phone my meds in but he went out of town and it will be Monday before he can do it. So "hording" is a very good idea. I guess if worse comes to worse I can continue like I am, and if my doctor won't give me anymore one day (which could likley happen due to him being in some trouble) then I will deal with it then. I think this is to big for me to do right now, getting off of the xanax that is. I guess thats the whole problem, the fear of not being able to get them anymore, where I live you are considered a druggie for using such things,this is why he is the only doc that perscribes them like he does. The medical community here is very uncaring and that scares me.
