When it came to drug abuse, I was strictly a lightweight compared to most of the people I know, but then it was a rather unruly mob. The only drug I did to excess was marijuana which I consider to be a much lesser evil than drinking. I didn't know that getting a prescription for Xanax was so unusual. I hadn't finished the questionnaire at that point. I guess I can kiss those goodbye. I know they are habit forming, but let's face it, you will get more of a buzz from a 6-pack or a few puffs of a joint. It seems kind of lame to go to a different doctor, besides the records would just be transferred unless I lied about having a previous doctor. Thanks for the input.
> I know the feeling, having a history of drug abuse in my crazy youth. I'm now a primary school teacher! I also believe that those questionnaires are merely routine, maybe for legal purposes? Dr. Bob would perhaps have some input, but my point being that what you wrote is not necessarily going to be read at all. Busy times these. But if it's really bugging you, maybe you could go to a different doctor next time if you like, and just fill in what you're comfortable sharing. Files are confidential, or so we hope. Lucky you though, you got some Xanax, not every doctor will do that, especially those of us with addictive tendancies! Check food and drug-drug interactions with Wellbutrin and Xanax an online tool though, Psycho-babble's main page has some great links such as Discovery Health and Drug Digest. I've read that Xanax is one of the more potent benzos. Don't drink grapefruit juice, but orange juice is pparently fine, curious eh? Try not to worry about the questionnaire, and if you do, pop a couple of those benzo's ;) Best Wishes.
