Did I Really Screw Up? The Doctor Seemed To Think So. Help.?

February 26th, 2010 admin 5 comments

So, my doc prescribed me .25mg xanax and 20mg celexa (i have erratic depression and madCRAZY panic/anxiety attacks) Generally, I suffer too much anxiety to go out and function without “training wheels”. When I have an anxiety attack, it’s as if the world is ending, literally. I can’t even begin to explain the horror. It’s bad enough that my heart will beat in my head/face and I nearly pass out. I usually don’t have much recollection of what happens during them. I informed the doc of how severe it was (sometimes I was sent home home from work with sympathy). I was able to be quite thorough explaining it after spending 8 years suffering. The other day, as I was unable to make an appointment (it’s finals week), I spoke with the doc on the phone to renew my prescriptions. I told him I tweaked the way I used the xanax in comparison to the label’s instructions (take 1 pill twice daily as needed). He never told me a specific way to take it (just something like: take as needed. it works quicker than buspar.)
HERE’S WHAT I DID:
–I tried taking one when I felt the onset of anxiety/panic (no relief). Tried this once more (same result)
–Since label said take 1 twice daily, I felt safe with two at once at the onset of attack (no relief)
–FACT: never took the xanax more than 2 days in a row (i fear addiction/dependency)
–Eventually, I tried (4) of the .25mg pills to yield 1mg. 1mg caused subtle relief and prevented the anxiety from going into full blown attack mode.
I did all of the above with confidence through endless hours of research on medical sites and speaking to people with personal experiences. I found that it is not at all uncommon for someone with SEVERE anxiety/panic attacks to take 1mg of xanax every so often to combat the attack (mine are 1, sometimes 2 attacks per week. Sometimes none). It made sense to not let the benzo in xanax build in my system by taking it daily (it’s short acting anyways; seemed like i was buying a ticket to hell). I did this modifying on my own without consulting the doc because he wouldn’t return my calls. He BERATED me, quite frankly. He said it was really stupid of me to do such a thing. I only told him about it because I wanted a prescription of .5mg or 1mg xanax to take on an ACTUAL as needed basis. I didn’t really get the chance to explain how I experimented with the xanax. It was as soon as he heard me say “4 of the .25mg pill before I get any relief” that he tweaked. Anyhow, i stated that the .25mg xanax must change. So, over the phone, he prescribes me .5mg klonopin. I am quite confused. Was I so wrong to do what I did? Should he have given me a larger dose of xanax to take maybe once or twice a week in the first place since I stated I DON’T WANT TO TAKE IT EVERYDAY AND I DON’T WANT TO BECOME DEPENDENT? I mean seriously, .25mg, the lowest it goes and I expressed how bad my anxiety/panic attacks were.

My Friend Is Abusing Her Prescription Drugs, Can I Tell Her Doctor?

February 20th, 2010 admin 4 comments

I have/had a good friend who I am currently losing to pills. She has suffered from anxiety in the past which has seemingly ceased. She is prescribed Xanax and Klonopin. She has admitted to lying about her anxiety to her doctor. She said she exaggerates mostly everything. Over the past year I have seen her weight drop by nearly 20lbs and her mood is mostly crabby when she is not on “enough” pills. She also buys Oxycontin nearly 2-3x a week mixed with xanax and klonopin. She frequently also drinks on these pills and acknowledges her like for the pills. When we go out she is in the corner passed out cold. Sometimes it can happen in an instant and she is in a deep sleep, sometimes she struggles to keep her eyes open. Is there anyway I can make this known to her doctor? I know there is a patient confidentiality deal here but what would you do? She has gotten worse and it isn’t helping that her mom also gives her her Vicodin. On a normal day she is on 5-7 xanax, a few klonopins and a few vicodins. On the 4th of July she took 5 ecstasy pills and all the above mentioned drugs. She has gotten a DUI but that has not affected her one bit since everyone around her is an enabler. What can I do? All of her friends miss the old her. Thanks…

Will I Look Like A Drug Abuser For Asking My Doctor For Xanax (alprazolam)?

November 23rd, 2009 admin 4 comments

I have a very severe panic disorder that sometimes keeps me from doing things I have to do, like go buy groceries at the store, get my hair cut, or go pay bills. At home, I am fine. Not depressed, anxious, or anything. It is just when I go out in public that I get panicky and start to freak out–once I remove myself from the situation, I am fine again.
To deal with this, I was prescribed Alprazolam back in October, to be taken as-needed. I don’t use the medication at all unless I have to leave the house for some reason, like to buy groceries, and then I carry it with me just in case I need it.
I was given 15 pills back in October, and now, 4 months later, I still have 4 left. So I only used 11 pills in 4 months–I think that goes to show I don’t abuse it.
But as I am starting to run low, I am going to be needing some more, and am going to make an appointment with my doctor this week for that purpose. But the problem is, I know Alprazloam is a drug that is widely abused by some people, and it carries a certain stigma with it that makes some doctors not want to prescribe it for that reason. And it is going to look awfully suspicious when I go there and specifically ask for Alprazolam as the sole purpose of my visit. I’m afraid the doctor will think I am a drug abuser and tell me no.
But here’s the thing: I refuse to take daily anti-depressants or other, more long-term anxiety medications such as SSRIs. Because unless I am out in public, I am fine. At home, nothing bothers me. The reason I have panic attacks is because I was the victim of a violent crime, and going out in public places stirs up old memories and causes me to freak out. But I don’t want to subject myself to long-term medications when I am just fine when not in public. I like being able to take a pill to control the panic attack SPECIFICALLY, since that is my problem, not depression or anxiety in general.
I am thinking of bringing my current bottle of the medication with me to show the doctor I still have some of it left, as proof I am not abusing it. I just don’t know what he’s going to say if I go in there and tell him I’m seeking Alprazolam–do you think he, or any other doctor, would say no? I have my bottle, filled in October, for 15 pills, with 4 of them left…shouldn’t that be enough for them to know I am not an drug abuser and simply like having it on standby? I do need to be able to go out in public every now and then, and the Alprazolam is the only thing that helps.

Cymbalta And Xanax? My Doctor Put Me On Cym And Xan For Anxiety I’m Not Depressed Or Any Of The Things Prescr.

October 22nd, 2009 admin 2 comments

for cym. But I do on occasion have panic attacks and get anxies, i’m 25, 2 kids, planning a wedding, and just bought land for a house plus go to school so all that can add up. But I gave the Cym a chance and the 1st 2 days were great then my head started hurting and i realized i had not eatin and then i wanted to pass out even after eating and so I stopped it and the Xanax is great but he says he only wanted me on them for 30 days. The Cym was terrible and I’m stilling feeling the affects 3 days later. What do I do? My brain freezes and I get crazy feeling at moments I don’t need anti’s but the doc won’t listen, just something to chill my nerves till everything is settled. Cymbalta was terible though. Anyone else experience these things?
