Everyone plz pay attention to your meds and make sure you always have what you need. I accidentally ran out of my xanax, havent had any since Monday night and they won't refill it until I see the dr. (have an appt tomorrow, thank goodness). I feel like crap under a cracker. My MG symptoms are horrible. When I get to the dr. I am going to get her to wean me off this crap. I never want to fill like this again. I think I'd rather have the panic attacks. Has anyone been weaned off Xanax before? Can you plz let me know what it is like?
Thanks,
Hugs everyone,
Kim

" Kim, sorry I don't know anything about Xanax, but your statement on how your feeling is a classic, describes how I feel often. May I borrow it?
I hope you get to feeling much better.
Will "

" Hi Will,
Trust me you don't want it. It makes your MG symptoms 10x worse when you're not taking it.
How are you doing?
Hugs,
Kim "

" You should check with your doctor for an alternate medication and eventually you can go to an " as needed" basis for the Xanax "

" Ask your doctor about lorazepam.
I take it, to help control cramp-fasciculation-syndrome.
But its primary use - is as an anti-anxiety med.
It comes in 0.5mg and 1.0mg dosages.
Which makes it very handy, to tailor to individual programs.
(I also take baclofen 10mg, to help control cramp-fasciculations.)

I feel fortunate to have these meds available.
For me? The cramp-fasciculation is at least as big a problem -
as the MG.

Thanks for the reminder, about watching our meds.
I do a decent job, but run pretty close to the wire sometimes.
Have you heard any of the horror stories - about mail-order?
Whew.

" So I went to the dr today and they said I was already weaned off the xanax since I havent had it since Monday. They put me on valium for 4 days.
Hope everyone is having a better day than I am.
Have a great weekend everyone!!
Hope you are staying cool.
Snowflake hugs,
Kim "
