I have a current prescription of Xanax 2mg. 4x a day that runs out tomorrow need to find a new Dr. as mine is out sick indefinitely. Can somebody help me? I'm scared!!! ## 8 mg a day is a dose that is very high. You should have begun tapering or looking for a replacement doctor sooner if that was even possible. If you feel the withdrawal symptoms, too many to mention, GET to an E.R. and seek help. In the mean time consider an Urgent Care place and bring your paperwork ## Thank you Eddy. Do you think Urgent Care will help me? I was told don't even bother to do that or go to the ER. ## Honestly no for this type of medicine, but there is nothing worse than running out on this drug ## Whoever told you that the E.R is wasting your time is doing you a disservice. ## Can someone please...

Hey, my name is Ashley, I'm 26, been diagnosed with personality disorder, PTSD, anxiety, bipolar etc. I've been on xanax since I was 17 years old, I recently left my psychiatrist because he wasn't hearing me when I told him after so many years 2, one mg tablets a day wasn't helping my anxiety.... his excuse for not giving me a higher dose was I'm too young..... since I left I've been hospitalized 3 separate times now over hyperventilating over a panic/anxiety attack.... the most recent I was in the ICU in lincoln county Nc December 24th 2017.... it was very bad they had to put me on life support, because I absolutely couldn't get myself to breath, but I also have been diagnosed with hyperventilation syndrome "pretty much sever anxiety" which was the m...

I was prescribed Xanax in 1992. Five months ago my new PCP changed to Klonopin which is not working. I need help finding a doctor to put me back on my Xanax near Midwest city, OK. ## Why isn't the Klonopin working? I have only taken two of them in my life and they seemed to work. I still have 178 of them! ## They should work great. Xanax n kpins always worked the best for me. Maybe just try them a bit more. I wish I had that many on hand ## I would do anything to get off Xanax. No reason to go back to it if you withdrew successfully. ## I have moved and am trying to find a new doctor to continue my treatment. I was put on 200 mg Zoloft a day, 4 x 2 mg Alprozolam a day, 10 mg of Abilify a day, and 2 x 150 mg Trazodone a night at 16 years old. I am 35. I did not realize it would be th...

I have Medicaid & I'm under a lot of stress & need a dr to prescribe Xanax in the Dallas Texas area. They have to accept Medicaid as I have no insurance. ## Medicaid Rules are Wild. Xanax for Children! Texas has a handful of physicians taking advantage of Medicaid rules by prescribing inappropriate medications for children. This is not only bad for the kids, but eats up Medicaid money that should go to other people. The problem was detailed in an editorial in the Fort Worth Star Telegram. Here are excerpts: With little oversight and apparent carte blanche, a relative handful of Texas physicians wrote $47 million worth of Medicaid prescriptions for powerful antipsychotic and anti-anxiety drugs over the past two years, according to a Star-Telegram analysis. The top five doctor...

I just moved to Phoenix, AZ and am looking for a new doc with compassion who can prescribe Xanax / Klonopin for anxiety and Percocet for back pain. Any help appreciated. Thanks ## Xanax contains Alprazolam and Klonopin contains Clonazepam, they are both Benzodiazepines, which treat the same conditions, so it is unlikely you will find a doctor that will prescribe both. In addition, many doctors will not want to handle pain treatment and the treatment for other conditions, such as anxiety, because they are not properly trained in handling both conditions. Have you had any luck yet? ## My dr prescribes me 67 8mg suboxone, 1mg klonopin 3x daily and 1mg Xanax for insomnia. ## Xanax is really not a sleeping drug or for insomnia. While the dosage seems acceptable, taking two drugs that are ver...

I have been taking xanax since I was 17 and had my first baby. I started to notice that I was stealing a lot more than I ever had. Now I'm looking at criminal charges for stealing. So, if this is true then I would love for someone to send me something stating that xanax can and does make people steal. ## You better believe it will make you steal among other things to get what you need! It was posted in previous PDRs that benzo "withdrawal can last for LIFE" And that is VERBATIM! Whether they still print it in PDRs I haven't looked , but beware... ## I can't entirely say that xanax led to my kleptomania. I do strongly believe it lowered my inhibitions and impaired my thinking. I began thinking the security bulbs in stores weren't real!!! Please seek help. They do ...

My current doctor is moving to be part of a group that is far from me..I've been on Xannex for three years. I went to two different doctors straight out of google search, and they both said they don't prescribe that until they have several visits with the patient… I'm already starting to feel the withdrawals, and I feel I'm gonna start calling out of work it's getting so bad. ## Once you develop an established Doctor Patient relationship the provider might decide to prescribe them for you. If you have been taking it for years you should know how to spell Xanax by now. If you suffer bad withdrawal symptoms you will want to present yourself to an E.R. as this can be very serious. ## I have Xanax attacks throughout my life and I was on it for a couple years again....

Can anyone help? Anybody tried helex generic xanax made by krka 1mg quick release? Are they blue? I thought they where good but got told they should be big round white pills and I had got slow release ones and they where big white round pills. I'm in Europe. Any help would be helpful.

I started having severe anxiety attacks (all day long), and other anxiety symptoms on July 7th. I have had this happen in 1989 and 2011 and recovered on my own in 3 months without medication. My body has become hyper-stimulated. A week ago I couldn't take the daily crying for 8 hours and pacing the yard, so I took 1/2 of a 0.25 mg Xanax of my sister's. The racing thoughts and crying immediately stopped. However, they made me very sleepy. I went to my doctor. He prescribed me 0.125mg 3 times per day for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I have NEVER taken medication in my LIFE and I'm 61 years old. Only Advil and vitamins. No depression, no surgeries, no diseases. I am blessed. My question is... does the sleepiness or fogginess get better with time? I still feel anxious when the ...

I just moved to Anchorage about 2 months ago, I have had terrible social anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobia since childhood. I received extensive counseling throughout my life which has helped but the best treatment I receieved was Xanax, I had some anti depressants with it but my doctors told me my depression was coming from my anxiety. Since I have no mental health coverage in my insurance I can only see general practice doctors, and I gt treated like a drug addict every time I go to an appointment, I need this to function at my job, I went through, and am still going through withdrawl (anti depressants cause much more side effects then xanax, and they cause withdrawl as well) Can anybody please give me some information to lead me to a general practice doctor who will help me.

i have been on Xanax for 30 years. Now my doctor moved and I'm seeing one in KS who calls me in randomly for a U/A!! I have never been in any trouble and I'm 51, not going to be treated like I'm on parol. ## Hello, Greg! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're experiencing. However, since Xanax is a controlled substance that is frequently abused, doctors do have to be very careful about prescribing it and most are going to make you do similar things, in order to continue having it prescribed. Many do random pill counts, too. This medication is most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and irritability, this medication also carries the risk of being habit forming. ...

My Girlfriend is 26 years old and she suffers from a huge anxiety problems and panic attacks on a daily basis. However because of her age we cant find a doctor to prescribe her xanax because so many people her age do abuse prescription drugs and sell them. We know its very addicting but she been on them for seven years and we move for about a year and was having to get them off the streets and moved back to Tenn and there a huge difference in how she reacts to daily life without them. She isa different person when she get them and keeps better control of her self when on them. We feel that she should be on xanax for the rest of her life. So if anyone knows a doctor that would prescribe her xanax around Chattanooga or anywhere in bradley county TN, Please let us know we would really appr...

Okay so I got a bottle of alprazolam 2mg bars they have a Y side and a 2 1 on the back I've never actually went through all my pills and looked at the scoring and put them side-to-side and flip them over to the back however some I had broken in half and needed to match them up when I did this I noticed that when I flip the pillow over some of the pills we're upside down meaning some pills had a y upwards and some had a y downwards is that normal when you're making a pill in a pharmacy for that to happen I had taken one pill today before I realized and now I'm scared ## I got a prescription and I have the same thing. But they are from the pharmacy so I guess they did it in lad for some odd reason. ## Gotta love Pill Aurobindo Pharma Limited out of India. There isn't a...

In St. Louis MO and need doctor to prescribe Xanax. Just moved back home to St. Louis and am 46 and forgot my old doctor. I need a new one that is able to write Benzos for my anxiety. Please help. ## Technically, any doctor can prescribe it. However, the recent changes to regulations and the push from the DEA to get better control of medications such as this means that it's most likely that a general practitioner won't prescribe it for you long-term, but instead will refer you to a specialist for counseling and medications, if needed. The best thing you can do is just find yourself a new doctor first, rather than trying to find one that will prescribe Xanax. Asking them if they'll do that, before you're an established patient is considered a red flag for drug seeking beh...

I was depressed I guess and took about 45-50 1 grams of Xanax (Alprazolam) at one time. I overdosed and the doctors told me its a miracle I survived and didn't have a seizure. ## The problem is Xanax is a psychological drug and this is not good to do. If you would have in fact taken 50 grams (not milligrams?) you couldn't have survived. I once was going through some problems and did something similar. I was tired of chasing Xanax every month and was not feeling to good. I now have a very large amount and will never let myself feel that bad again (I had nothing to live for or so I thought). I'm glad you are ok, and you might have to deal with the withdrawal effect now but hang in there! ## Yea, I meant milligrams. I'm ok now but I've been reading a lot about xanax. So...

Got my prescription filled with some dark yellow bars, almost orange with darker orange spots, had r039. Broke like chalk.. had the bitter flavor but instead of being fast-acting it took an hour and a half to kick in and was the strongest I had ever had. Leads me to think there was something else in it... looked pressed. ## Hi saurusrex, If you didn't get these from a real licensed pharmacy, my guess is that they are counterfeit as well; especially since the legitimate ones are clearly depicted as being yellow in color and NOT orange. There are also a lot of counterfeits that closely resemble the real thing, so it can be particularly difficult to determine what's really inside unless you were to have the contents analyzed by a lab first. Did it still feel like Xanax when you too...

My PCP of 15 years told me today that the DEA is wanting to start halting the doses of alprazolam for intent to wean completely off. How is this going to be possible? I am on disability for my mental health. I was attacked viciously and my alprazolam has been my anxiety med for 13 years. Anyone know where I can get precise, accurate more specific info? This terrifies me. She scared me. Would the pharmacies know? As anyone who takes alprazolam, the withdrawals nor the panic attacks are of any fun. ## What you were told is basically what we are all being told. The writing is on the wall for the class of drugs we know as Benzodiazepines. I didn't want to believe this when I first joined here in 2013. From 2011 to 2014 I had a very generous doctor who saved my life going through a withd...
