Prescribe Xanax

Looking for an understanding MD within 30 miles of Tupelo that dies not have a "hang up" with writing 2mg Xanax a day and 1 Mg Klonopin for sleep? Previous use w medical records available. ## 2 Benzodiazepines? Is that even prudent? ## Hello, Buttercup! How are you? Eddy is right, that's not a good idea and it isn't very likely that you'll find a doctor who will prescribe both. It's usually one or the other, since you're really just doubling up on the same thing. They are both Benzodiazepines, so they treat the same things, can both be habit forming and can cause the same side effects. And if you require such medications on a long-term ongoing basis, due to the new regulations that were put in place this year, you'll need to see a specialist. Do you curre...

I have been on Xanax for 15yrs. New provider doesnt want to keep prescribing it, why is he telling me its going to be taken off the market so I should back down now !!! WHAT???? IS THIS TRUE? I have no complaints. I am able to calm my panic attach because of the Xanax. ???? What is your professional opinion? I will not be staying with this new doctor who clearly doesnt understand how wondetful Xanax is . ## Xanax is many things, but wonderful is really not one of them? Look for a new provider? ## @LeeLee, The FDA has not made any official announcements on their website's list of drug discontinuations. So my theory is that your doctor just doesn't want to prescribe that type of medication anymore; probably for very personal reasons and understandably so. In my opinion the benefit...

Hello all I have been established with my Primary Care Dr. For some time now and he has been a blessing but I suffer from major PTSD, Panic Disorder as well as HAD and am on 3mg of Alprazolam per day along with a painkiller I am attempting to slowly wien off of. My question is whether anyone knows who may be able to inform me of a Psychiatrist who is lax in their Benzo prescribing of it is truly neccessary, for me it is. I am also on Busparone which practically ddeos nothing for the panic attacks I suffer from on a day to day basis. I have the names of a couple psychiatrists I saw when I used to abuse this type of medication but have now been on the same dosage over 6 years and would be willing to swap names of anyone can help please do. Thank you. ## Despite what you might have read or...

I am currently taking 1mg xanax and am wondering if I could get it increased to 2mg ## That would be a 100% increase in the amount of medicine your Doctor is prescribing and most doubtful ## Hi Diamond, In my opinion, it would safer to gradually work your way up to 2mg instead of. Why do you want to up the dosage so much? Have you considered any natural alternatives? Here's a link to some herbal alternatives to Xanax that you can ask your doctor about if you'd like: livestrong.com/article/115874-herbal-alternatives-xanax/ I hope this helps! ## Diamond how long have you been taking this dose? it s really unlikely, and not good for you to increase unless you were traumatized, or were having increased anxiety for example: not coping with a death well ,loss of marriage, worsening ni...

I have been taking suboxone for about 2 months now. I am supposed to take 12mgs a day...3 doses 4 mg a piece a lot of days i do not need the 3rd dose and take 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening. Since i stoped taking painkillers i have had bad anxiety and trouble sleeping my mind seems to wonder and dwell on things when i go to bad and have had a couple anxiety attacks at work. My doctor tried buspar for 3 weeks because he does not like to give benzos with the subs. I had no relief from the buspar so today he gave me a perscription for xanax 0.5mg as need max 2 a day. He explained the possiable interaction between them and told me as long as i take them at least a couple hours apart i ahouldnt have any problems. I have not tried them togather and am just seeking a second opinion. I h...

I've been dealing with severe anxiety and can't function on my daily activities. Feeling really nervous and scared for no reason and sometimes I feel shortness of breath. What's really bad is I can't sleep well at night, so I'm looking for a doctor to prescribe something to treat my anxiety and help me relax. I'm located near Dallas, TX. ## I can't speak to a Doctor for you or tell you they would prescribe anything. You have to present yourself in person and establish a Doctor Patient relationship. If things get really bad try the ER ## Eddy is correct. Your best bet is to see a new doctor, but not ask for any specific medications, because they might view that as being drug seeking. Xanax is a controlled substance that carries the risk of being habit forming,...

Dr Murray Snook in Georgetown, TX has no problems prescribing Xanax. Will refill every month for years as long as you come in and complain of anxiety. ## What Dr. Snook does for one patient does not mean he would do for all patients. Also it does him limited good to post this info as the DEA or local authorities have access to the internet and could possibly sanction him. This is not to say that he won't give out these pills.

I've had anxiety and bad panic disorder now for 15 yrs. I was taking 2mg 4 times daily Got new primary dr. He don't believe in xanax. He gave me a few to see how they work. Go back in first of aug. I need a Dr that understand my dilemma. Please refer me to someone that can help. Thank you ## Even the patent holder of Xanax do not suggest 8 mg a day. When you're cut off, (and you will be) you are a prime candidate for withdrawal including a stroke ## I am sorry, Jon! I do not have a list of doctors there to refer you to, I live on the west coast. 8mgs a day is not a commonly prescribed dosage, as Eddy has already stated, but doctors do have to adjust most dosages according to how the person responds to any given medication. The FDA warns that this one carries the risk of bein...

Hi I have high anxiety I have poor appetite, my mom just died I have panic attacks my heart races..I feel like I am going to pass out and I have trouble leaving the house ## Hello, Megan! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. Due to the new regulations set forth by the DEA last year, if you require such a medication, you'll need to see a specialist. A general practitioner won't be able to prescribe it for you, so you'll need to see a psychologist. The FDA lists Xanax as benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. It carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Do you currently have a PCP that could refer you to someone? If so...

Where is the easiest place to get Xanax prescribed in Montgomery, Alabama? SWIM has seizures and no insurance and is having a really difficult time at the moment getting a script. If you're not already aware, being diagnosed with grand mal seizures is bad enough but running out of Xanax makes SWIM have them more frequently and more violently when they don't have Xanax...not to mention the withdrawals. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!! ## Can't get xanax from mom's as she has a restraining order out. ## Shouldn't that be an indication that Xanax use does nothing but cause more misery.... orders of protection ( restraining orders ) are difficult to substantiate so whatever it is for I'm certain Xanax has some part in it. Try something like vistaril at least i...

I had a cardiac ablation in 2014. Had three episodes since then. My cardiologist prescribed Xanax. When I feel as if I might be going to have an episode, I take 1/4 th extra of 25 mg metoprolol along with 1 Xanax. It has been successful in staving off any episodes. I haven't used that many. When I tried filling my script, it had expired. His new practitioner is telling me, my cardiologist can legally only prescribe Xanax just once in MA. Is this true? ## There seems to be a lot of very strict rules in MA when it comes to controlled medicine but no that doesn't sound right. Many Doctors have said similar comments like that for years, making it clear they will only fill your request once and further refills will need to be provided by a Mental Health provider. I think that is BS #...

I have had horrible panic attacks since I was 18. I also have generalized anxiety disorder, ptsd and severe depression. My family doesnt understand why I cry all the time. I dont either. I just know that Im alone and heartbroken. My dad is my best friend and he is bedridden with muscular dystrophy. He never wants to get out of bed anymore. I have 2 children also. Its in their best interest to not live with me. I am seeing a doctor who gives me 75 2 mg xanax a month and she thinks that is a lot. I only take them when im feeling anxious or start to panic.
