Xanax Being So Restricted, But Is My Life Line! (Page 2)

Xanax is my Life Line, its highly addictive, but was presribed to me about 20 Years ago. It was not explained to me at the Time! I am not a addictive Personalty basically, but now i get treated like a Junky! Only one Prescription every Time and have to see my GP, its costly for the Taxpayer and very inconvenieant to me, at my Age i should be trusted like before, practically stick to 3 one mg daily, even had been under ernormous Stress as i have lost 4 Family loved ones in last three Years including my Wife!

About “not having medical commission”, quote from .gov site:

“A driver cannot take a controlled substance or prescription medication without a prescription from a licensed practitioner. If a driver uses a drug identified in 21 CFR 1308.11 (391.42(b)(12)) or any other substance such as amphetamine, a narcotic, or any other habit forming drug, the driver is medically unqualified. There is an exception: the prescribing doctor can write that the driver is safe to be a commercial driver while taking the medication.”

That’s why I don’t take advice from internet individuals.

Have a merry Christmas! :)

" I got Zolpidem instead of diazepam and almost had a car crash because I started to nod off while driving! Is that what patients deserve?! "

In our Country I will say it again, there is NO "Medical Commission" that approves you to Drive or operate heavy Machinery when under the influence of Benzodiazipies or Sleep Medicine. Patients and Drivers deserve to read the prescription label (when not bought from the local pusher) and not to take medicines that are known to impair driving. You Sir are a Nut if you think otherwise

Re: Mr Diaz (# 21)

Your CFR doesn't apply. A commercial Driver is one that drives a Semi Truck and would need a Doctor's clearance if taking these medications.Both the driver and any Doctor approving the use of these medications would be responsible if an accident happened. You can take these medicines, just don't drive on them as my bottle says. I bet you get yours in Baggies

Re: EDDY (# 23)

Coming from a guy who nods off while driving. It’s just awful to suggest Mr Diaz is a person who gets them on the streets. You don’t know him. So stop. You both sound childish perhaps you both should not be on anything with this attitudes.

No you must read again, it was Mr. Diaz who nods off while taking sleeping pills while driving but has been cleared by the Medical Commission of Croatia to do so I guess

Let me make one thing perfectly clear. Xanax is not a 'Narcotic'. You need some medicine right away and should see a Doctor as soon as possible

Re: Hans (# 28)

The problem Hans is when the next Doctor declines to prescribe it anymore. Many Doctors just toss patients aside without consideration of a Stroke or other serious problems when stopping them. Plus having to do all that driving sounds horrible. I had one Doctor double my dose a long time ago and this meant for each months supply I had an extra months supply. Now I have lots of bottles and my poor Doc is getting up there in age, like 72 now

Re: Hans (# 29)

Your welcome and honestly when we don’t sweat what we can’t control, the issue becomes less important. I’m up there in age as well not 70’s yet... lol but at this point don’t care. Anxiety is no joke at any age, but at this age... don’t worry. We never know when we are to be called home, meds or not. God Bless.
