I have left message with Dr. office and let them know that I still cant get my meds and still waiting to hear back from them to see what the deal is.... |
You have to realize that xanax is not
aspirin. Lots of ins companies won't pay for it, medicare HMOs won't pay for it. Pharmacies are very tightly regulated on dispensing anti-anxiety meds. Not judging you, I took xanax and
klonopin and all the Benzos for MANY years. You talk about a sucky withdrawal. I thought I would die. And you can from the WD if you stop suddenly. These meds are intended to be taken for like 10 days at a time, not forever, though I thought I needed them forever too. I even had several seizures when I stopped. That should tell you something. I still get sparatic little jolts or electric shocks zapping me every so often from them.
Sounds like you have been jumping around trying to get the right dose. I understand that and that is the only way to find what works for you. Have you finished your last script before it was DUE to be refilled? If so, the pharmacy may or may not fill it. And I mean according to the way it was written, not what you and your dr agreed on. But that is likely the problem. Your dr is only going to raise a minimul objection to the pharmacy if any. They are watched for writing too many scripts of this type of medicine. At least you know how much to take when it is refilled.
I would really watch it with the xanax whatever happens here. It is bad news. I would try some relaxation techniques or something that can help you. Your primary care doctor does not specialize in this field and usually doesn't know what may be available for you. Perhaps another who deals with anxiety could be an alternative for you. ???
