For two years I have been given 2mg Xanax a day for my anxiety disorder.
At a point, my doctor abruptly took me off Xanax for me potentially going to rehab for meth. "they dont take Xanax in rehab"
I didnt need to go to rehab for meth and found an outpatient program instead due to my strong confidence in staying clean and being so on my own for the following 3-4 months.
This whole time, i had 2 refills for my Xanax available. Left overs sorta ya know, i picked up both refills. and went through my reserve Xanax stash that i had accumulated over the two years, on good months when i had days of not taking.
Anyways, im addicted to xanax, as i am having withdrawals, or at least getting really sick feeling when not on them.
Now I am Completely Out!
And my doctor WONT give me a taper because i took those two months of refills when he said he was not going to give me more!
So two months added to two years of taking Xanax and now i don't deserve a taper!!!
How well would me attempting to get another doctor to help me be? Does my doctors logic make sense. or would finding another doctor be encouraged? i dont know if my doctors logic makes sense, or another doctor would say same thing, or maybe i show them whats going on and i get some help. they say xanax withdrawals only last 7 days but still..... i think my doctor is mean and i honestly feel like i want a new one.
and im taking seroquel which gives me muscle stiffness/rigidity
also now i have Vistaril which is helping but not making the sickness feeling go away.
Hot and Cold Sweats
Aching EVERYWHERE!! Head and Body!
Shaking!
No Sleep
Nauseous!
haha, now i wake up soar throat
ANXIOUS!
and this is all rather depressing to think about while i see what i have written on screen here.
If looking for new doctor, I am using Medicaid to get by, any tips or should i just look up what kind of place, a mental health place, or where, maybe GP Doctor?
EDIT: i also am put on Depakote ER 1000mg, and Clonidine .1mg twice a day, and then BuSpar 30mg twice a day, but BuSpar is a mocking joke if you ask me!! I am taking lots of Lyrica too. i am given 150mg 3 times a day, but im taking like 600-900mg doses. and then also taking lots of 100mg doses of Vistaril when my symptoms flair up. ALL this IS helping, but its only helping, not making sickness go away. i just want a Xanax Taper!!!!!!
