Basicly i got a script of blue 1mg xanax yesterday, and today i bring them to the methadone clinic so i dont get in trouble for any more of my dirty benzo drops cause they were about to kick me out if they weren't out of my system in like 4 days, so anyways they started freaking out saying they need to inform my doctor and i had to sign against my will the release for them to contact him and tell him i go to the methadone clinic and how much im on {125mgs}, now i have had problems with panic attacks and anxiety problems sense middle school or as long as i can remember, social anxiety, just plane always, around new people, or job interviews, or if i have something important to do i will have such bad anxiety that i will get no sleep the night before ,and when i was younger i was prescribed other benzos like ativan, and xanax not to mention a million other things before they actually gave me something that worked, i actually feel stable not nodding or slurring my words or burning shit with my cigs and its been years sense i have felt like a normal person not strung out and sick and chasing oxys or dope everyday as soon as i get up, even with just the methadone i still felt uncomfortable like still kinda dope sick just strange like rite before yer about to get the flu that weird feeling and u know yer gona get sick but it only gets that far, at 1st i thawt i was just geting the flu but after weeks of this i realized it was my done dose was to low but they will not give me any more, with the xanax i am perfect not high and not sick and weak, i feel like i could strike up a convo with a person walking down the street, , and i really need them when i dont take any after my methadone daily dose i feel as if i have no medication in me at all, my pupils will get huge all day and i will pritty much just have to be in bed all day at one point i was so frustrated i was ready to call it quits at the clinic cause it just wasnt holding me i had cravings still and still felt ill 50 percent of the time but wen i took the xanax with it not abusing them by the way i felt great had energy was back to my old self again.But let me quit rambling and get to the point i did not mention this to the doc that wrote the xanax that i was attending a methadone clinic cause i figured he would not give me the xanax to a recovering attict i only ever was hooked on opiates, but wen u go there they just think i will take anything and everything, and i was like look lady if i wanted to abuse these i could and pulled them out my pocket i said u wana count them but she insisted that they needed to tell my doc how dangerous it is and who knows what eles shes gona tell him but im on here to ask if u think next month wen i go back to the doc hes gona yank my script of xanax cause of this i mean i did not lie to get them or even stretch the truth at all took him a whole 5mins in his office and he sent me on my way with the script the lady at the methadone clinic said 9 times outa 10 they dont do anything just maybe monitor my drug screens so me benzo levels dont go higher than what he should be giving me. So any one eles been in this situation or have any advice im just scared that they are gona not give me em next month wen i show up at the docs. I guess ther is just a stigma with people at the methadone clinic ,that they will do any and all drugs, but that couldn't be further from the truth i hate cocaine ,i do not drink, i had script of ritalin and hated it took maybe 10 outa the 90 in the bottle and they sat in my closet fer years, dont like amphetamines,or hallucinogens, it was only opiates 1st fer fun all my friends did them oxys were everywhere then cause i wanted to be high and not sick and then wen a drained my bank account completely it was just to be not sick then i found them from a town over fer less than half of what they went for ware i lived so i could hustle up enough to have a wallet that could barley close and stay high 24/7 but ops kinda ruined that and it was iv heroin from then on and this is why i turned to the methadone

first off you need to break your posts up that makes it extremely easier to read and second off i am pretty damn sure they arent gonna give you those again. Most doctors will not prescribe benzo's with methadone and i iknow doctors ask what other meds you are taking so you did lie by not tellin him.
It is very dangerous mixing two cns depressants and doctors know that so i would be ready to not get your next script at least prepare cause its highly likely you arent gonna get them any other questions feel free to ask
 
Holy shit it is all one sentence you didn't tell the doctor you're on methadone I'm sure he asked if you're taking anything if you want to keep going to the clinic you have to cut your losses and give up the xanax and maybe take an antidepressant for anxiety there are some good ones out there they aren't all prozac
 
Please edit your post and break it up into paragraphs. A huge wall of text is kinda off putting and a lot of people will just not bother to read your whole post. As for your problem, nobody here can tell you what your doctor is going to do. He will either - A)Deny you a refill or B) Continue prescribing. If you methadone clinic allows you to take them while on MMT and your doctor is on the same page as the clinic, you should be fine. Otherwise, he simply won't write you any more prescriptions.

When I was on MMT, there was a strict "NoBenzo" policy and nobody could take them regardless of a prescription or not.

Bhannon covered it quite well. Mixing to cns depressants, especially methadone and xanax can be very dangerous and is attributed to many deaths/OD's. Please be careful.

I am going to close this though, as it is a self serving thread and unfortunately nobody here is your doctor, or knows your doctor. We cannot tell you what will happen. The best thing you can do is call your doctor and ask what the deal is with this situation.

Please read the BLUA and the OD Rules and Posting Standards, located in my signature. Any other questions with the rules, feel free to PM myself or any staff member.

Best of luck with your situation; Anxiety is terrible and I have been suffering similar to you for years as well. I hope you can come to a favorable outcome to this situation and get your anxiety under control. Good luck. :)
 
a lot and im talking like prolly almost half the people there are on some type of bezos and way more than me some kid was bitching cause they make u wait if u have a really high level he said he took bars 2mgs three times a day,and the kid behind him was like me too and there doc had to know about it if they have to tell mine now that 6mgs a day and overkill if u ask me and i know a lady personally who gets 60 or 90 blues just like me and no problems or do they give her any shit at all
