In reply to Re: Xanax - my pdoc thinks its too much! I DONT!, posted by zeugma on May 6, 2004, at 16:01:25
Here are my 2 cents: my p-doc said she wanted to treat my anxiety and panics attacks primarily; and if ultimately that treatment resulted in a benzo addiction (which was my fear I had expressed) then we would deal with that. She said I was not on a dose that would constitute an addiction, and I do check in with her regularly.
So, in my case - I was the reluctant one, and my p-doc prescribed the xanax and it has helped me so much. It all seems like worrying about nothing now - oh, no, that's why I went to the dr. in the first place :)
