Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

I am supposed to be taking 1 to 2 xanax a day as needed for anxiety or panic attacks but find myself taking anywhere from 6 to 20 or more sometimes. I can't tell my pdoc or he will take them from me. There are days when I can't take any because I can't afford to run out. I had so many because I had been stashing them for my suicide but now I am running low. I am planning to get my prescription filled tomorrow which will give me another 60. I need help. Please tell me something I don;t know. The crisis line is out as is calling my pdoc, my therapist & my case manager. The hospital is also out because my last visit with them was a disaster. Please help me.

I totally understand your thinking. My pcp doesnt want me to get stuck on them. so she has it planned to let me take one or less a day and it has to be bottom line one a day and sometimes up to 6 or 7 depending on the day. i have to watch how i take them too because im scared ill run out when i really need them.

I think probably that taking so many is what is making you so anxious.I went through that. I finally had to go to the hospital to be taken off of them. I actually felt better when they were out of my system. They put me on an anti- depressant that helped with depression and anxiety. You might need to talk to your Dr.because these are probably not helping anymore. Before I got off of them, I thought I was totally going to lose it forever.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
