Xanax

Hey everyone or anyone!

I have been taking xanax since September for my panic attacks. I am afraid that my doctor is going to take them away... she have ever said it but I am just anxious out it, that maybe they'll think I am cured or something... Are these logical thoughts?

If your doc wanted you to stop taking these for any reason she'd cut you down very very slowly! (cant stress that enough!) If she hasnt said thats what she wants to do then maybe it isnt. Good luck! x

Most doctors don't like prescribing xanax or drugs in its classification because of the addictive nature.

I would be a RAVING LUNIE without it.....I have been on it for almost 2 yrs and my doc has no plans of taking me off it bcause I only take it when needed.....I dont take it 3 times a day everyday....I take it when I feel the need....when I start feeling ants in my pants and within 10 minutes ahhhhhh sweet relieve......
