I previously made a thread about benzodiazepines mainly Xanax. I went and saw a psychiatrist today and I Really am sick of this. I was completely honest with this doctor. He asked me what I am prescribed. I said 15mgs(not enough but dont care) of dexedrine I then paused and just said I am Perscribed 6mgs of Xanax a day, but have been taking 4mgs and on stress filled anxious ridden days 5mgs. Well just about those exact worda. He without pause said I dont like that , its like mixing an upper and A downer. Then said theres NO real point on being on Dexedrine (rollin eyes at this badly) and Xanax because he ,to sum things up, think it evens you out and it is starting to be an issue. I thought I had the greatest doctor but now I am stuck of Fuck. When leaving I even told the guy because apparently I am just coming in there for medication to him that I Wasnt asking for refills of any kind just was seeing if he was capable of helping me. He thwn said upper and downer bpah blah the dexedrines probably making you more anxious as its a side effect for wveryone apparently even though I Said before this I find dexedrine to help my anxiety. What has medicine come to?!?! On my way out I did reschedule an appointment and he said he wanted consent to basically be nosey. He said I can fax stuff over after I found old doctors via Moms. I then ask for a.form not knowing what it was and just thought this sounda bad I had a bad last doctor this would be supid. I left feeling and probably looking really awkward. I do Not like thia. Everyone seems to think I should have to detox or taper and Now really isn't the time. This is year five exactly ? I have been on benzodiazepines. I have been on Adderall forever. ten plus years then have been on Dexedrine for a year and a half and I see more progress is outcome when taking it versus other add meds. I am asking for advice. Where can I go. I dont and shouldnt have to deal with all this. YES everyone needs to get off benzos at some point I Suppose but I think It is doing nothing but help. What kind of doctor should I look into? Should I keep calling Psychiatrists or keep working with me doc. Also can she make me detox? I totally feel like I am being fucked over badly with all of this its like never ending.
