That's a huge dose of a dubiously effective drug ) for most indications. Theoretically, I can see 600mg QID (600mg x 4 doses/dt = 2.4g), but for what reason, I don't know offhand the reason for the dose. Gabapentin (Neurontin has been over-promoted and overprescribed since came on the market on the US - it has SOME uses, but most of them are :Take a logical indication for the drug, she lets them into possibly "at-some-point" approval in the US and Canada a symptoms and tell a story [to the patient].This is no way to practice medicine —seeking a reason to prescribe Neurontin is far from medical, but because the doc's federal DEA REG. has been limited or even suspended. Find a well-qualified Internist for through workup, listen to what he has to say and then a Board Certified psychiatrist to determine which might be uscg disorders. Sincerely, Doctor J

My wife has been recently tested for Thyroid function. Her TSH reading as per the ECLA test is 9.43 mIU/ml as against the prescribed range of 0.35 - 5.50, Her age is 63 years. Can anyone suggest the medicine to be given her for controlling the above elevated level of TSH.

You must have me misidentified with a Doc by the last name of FEELGOOD, Xanax is effectively in limited situations. I took it for a while (per my own shrink's script and has national rep) and it didn't make me feel high at all. It controlled my
Panic Attack Disorder quite well, but ultimately, I decided to switch to Klonopin. Works better. More quality generics available, etc. Compassion does not equal stupidity or gullibility. I don't make ANYONE turn to the "black market," but "NO" is "NO' if the rug is not indicated or I suspect drug-seeking behavior. With an MD and a PhD in Pharmacology, I think I'm qualified to make that call after 25 years in practice. Assertions of "no compassion" are among the first line that abusers or addicts e say "no" to claim as a "reason" for our denial to write scripts to order,

Or the DEA could follow NYS's example and deem it be treated like a C-II (Schedule II) Controlled Substance. When the feeds and state regs clash, the MORE RESTRICTIVE RULES Apply.

I have been diagnosed with PTSD and am also taking 12 mgs of subutex. Good ole Bup. I go to a Doctor and am honest. I take 3 2mgs of alpazolam (xanax) a day, I went to a rehab in Florida where they damn near killed me.Took me off the BUp after 2 weeks. LOL And for the benzo's I was put on a 2 week taper using a very low dose of clonopine. Well needless to say I went into PAWS. I did not eat or sleep for 2 weeks. I began to hallucinate and was medically unstable should have been hospitalized.The key was you had to stay 30 days or they would not pay your flight home. I lived in Pennsylvania. I had to threaten them and they put me on a very low dose of clonopine for 5 days. I suffered to the last day still in PAWS with no meds, I got them to release me so they would pay my flight home. OMG what all of these drugs need to be worked with a doctor one to one and very carefully taper off.As soon as the flight touched down my son met me with 10 2 mg clonopine and some percodan enough to regain my sanity The next day my doctor put me back on a lower dose of subutex and a script for xanax and we reported the rehab to my insurance company. The moral of my story is find a Doctor be honest and follow his orders to a tee. Neither of these drugs are fun to kick. KISS take it day by day and if you really need a Doctor keep going until you find a good one!!!

Xanax often exacerbates Depressive Episodes. A good shrink would stay away from writing Xanax for you. Doesn't mean there are not other similar drugs that could help. All benzos can have this adverse run, but its a little bit of a research stretch to find based on the absence of an adverse interaction.

@Dr. Joey, ok so klonopin worked for you and I respect your education, but I have a history of mental illness in my family. I am not going to go into a big sob story. But I am 61 years old and have been to many shrinks rehabs and kicked opiates and methadone. Valium used to be the mothers little helper in the 70's now it is xanax. I was in a head on car accident and prior was diagnosed with degenerative disc disorder. After 20 years of sobriety, I awoke in the hospital on a morphine drip and that awoke the demon lol. I was being treated by a pain management pill pusher and ended up confronting him on my treatment. I accept responsibility for taking the drugs but having pain and PTSD so bad I was reclusive for a year. My husband was seeing him for a work related accident in construction. Well he walked out on me while I was in the hospital. I left AMA stupidly but by then good old pill pusher had me 302 to a facility where I was first put on Bup but that was in 2006 and I live in a area in northeast Pa and the Doctors knew little about bup. So I found a Doctor who was one of the first in my area to prescribe the drug, and tried to transition from the narcotics to Bup, well hello precipitated withdrawal. I was rushed to a hospital in respitory failure. They did nothing. I laid in agony with an oxygen mask praying to die. So the next day he put me on oxys to buy us some time for me to get the pill pushers methadone and other drugs out of my body. It worked until the DEA decided to put him out of business. So I am now on 12 mgs of subutex and xanax. Is it the best protcol in the world, no, but it is mine. So I have only shared a small part of my life. But being judgemental is not a great way to offer support. Walk a mile in my shoes and then comment. I have helped many an addict change their way of life and say Hooray to them. And each day I pray for the suffering addict out there. May they get the help they need. Peace

I'm sorry of you interpreted my reply as judgmental. It wasn't. Research has proven that Xanax TENDS to worsen Depressive Illness.That doesn't mean NO NENZOS EVER, like those AA/NA Cultists do. Just suggesting another benzo if possible. I am not judgmental when it comes to addiction. I did my share in college. Two best friends with their Dad's Rx pads...lucky I survived and I might not have if a friend isn't rate me out. I got the help I need (my Dad's a Doc s he said, "NO AA, NO NA. PERIOD. End of conversation." Other groups that did not insist I make a full confession to an unqualified total stranger helped me sit my doing good works at Covenant House when I was a med students. You are being treated HORRIBLY by your so-called Healthcare providers." Any way out f the clutches of the pill pusher. I've hired as residents docs who honestly told me they had drug problem in college or they got busted (state law prohibits licensure if convicted of a Felony) and felt better getting if off their chests right off..."besides, word in school is that you're very understanding". They turned out to be good doctors, deciding to specialize in Substance Abuse, ADDICTION MEDICINE IS NOT A RECOGNIZED MEDICAL SPECIALTY, ASK THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MEDICAL SPECIALISTS IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME." You deserve better care if ONLY because you''re one of our citizens.

LOL @Dr Joey, I call them the AA and Na Nazi's. My way or the high way. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of people who get clean using the 12 steps. I believe that if we use them in our life they can be of great help but after a stint in meetings I discovered it is just a matter of will power. As far as Benzos are concerned I respect your opinion and hope you would afford me the same, But I am 61 and have lived a great productive life. I was the Exec Director of the largest agency in our area. We managed all of the homeless assistance money for our County. I am an excellent grant writer and still hold the record for the largest award to a single agency. I worked on collaboration and Community Building. WE addicts are a talented bunch LOL $435,000 and change from the Pa Commission on Crime & Delinquency But I digress, the money became very political and my contract was not renewed. My successor was a woman who had no clue and the City snagged the money for Police overtime. They did a little programming but not much. We have inner city problems and gang related issues. I run into old clients every day who can not access services.. In my mind all public health issues.. So hopefully this can inspire an addict to use their skills in a positive manner. And we will call our debate on Benzos a stalemate lol peace Doc.

I've suffered from severe anxiety attacks over the past decade, and they are progressively becoming worse. I often feel that I'm having a stroke. Short of breath, locked muscles, and disorientation. But my doctor just prescribes antihistamines....which have zero affect on me.

He's probably writing for HYDROXYZINE (Vistaril or Atarax are the original brand names). Unless you take at least 100mg (which would dry you out like a SunKist Prune), they're useless. They originally were promoted as tranquilizer; now I THINK hydroxyzine is sometimes used in Labor and that's about it. I've taken it; It's a useless drug. If you have real anxiety, you need real anxiety medication. No one tries to stop shrinks for prescribing anxiolytics (the nose-in-the-air name for anti-anxiety drugs), you might start there. You don't always have to pay a shrink's fees to get ongoing therapy. I have "a bunch" of Master Psychiatric Social Workers (they're changed the initials so often...but I recall MSW - ACSW as the designation in NYS for a Master Social Worker with at least seven years of supervisory experience) as the highest level of psychiatric social worker, absent DSW, of course. They work with me win cases and who do probably 90% of the psychodynamic psychotherapy and I keep an eye on the meds. We work together. I've found a lot of good MSWs hewn it comes to assessment and recommending medications. I may be the MD, but I take my peers' opinions very seriously.

My friend,

I think I'm bout 10 minutes younger than you are at 60 going on 61. Glad there are no hard feelings and thanks for the kind words. "Thanks" to the AA/NA Cultists, you and I can't call ourselves "addicts" or "recovered addicts" and be taken serious by any professional group. If appropriate, I mention I had a med problem. This incurable Medical Model crap is just that. I've done research that has shocked, appalled and disgusted me, particularly about Bill W. I did a dissertation; if I had time (and I might since I'm retiring) I might shop a dissertation-style book about Bill W., et. al.. The late Lyle Leverich, without any advanced academic background, did the same on Tennessee Williams ("Tom: The Unknown Tennessee Williams") and it was amazingly sourced and accurate. As I said, I wrote a dissertation and know good scholarship. I recognized 20s advertising rhetoric immediately and looked deeper and wider into this cult. I saw what they had planned for me when I returned to college and rejected it completely. I respectfully accept your proposal to agree to disagree about benzodiazepines. Can you recall what it was about? I think writing for Xanax and Methadone. I admit a problem with pregnant women who continue to use and then (a) expect to go back to it; no breast-feeding and/or (b) think they deserve to have their children NOT removed or returned. I've been an Expert Witness God knows how many times and I've never testified on the side of such parents. My personal feelings are that a mother who will knowingly harm a child in utero forfeits her right to the motherhood of that child. Thanks for your kind words. Sounds like we'd make a great team. I'm a great Grant Proposal Writer myself, thanks to my late, beloved, Mom, who passed on May 02, 2015.

Yes, these are all public health issues. I"m a gay man and donate a full day to an LGBT Clinic and "terrorize" all available residents who meet the cut (I prefer 3rd and 4th year, not just for experience, but so I don't have to constantly check their scripts) and want a "good later" from me and their own Chiefs to donate as well. Some of my colleagues remind me how much money I could be making having another day of office hours. I'm not here to become the richest man the the cemetery, buddy! As I said, sounds like we'd make quite a team. (And I cut my private fees quite often.)
