The doc put me back on xanax 4 months ago told me if I took like I was supposed to I wouldn't get addicted but what he didn't tell me is that I would become dependent. So know here I am broke and no way to see the doc with a lump in my throat, headache, jumpiness, etc. Help has anyone been through this?

xanax is best taken on the bad days only with a few tablets carried with you just in case

you also need to learn CBT relaxation and coping skills

taking a long relaxing walk will help a lot

remember when stressed, do breathe deep and slow

Is there a department of mental health in your area? Here in New York, I beleive all of the counties offer these services. You'd be surprised what services they offer, and what help is available from outside sources. I agree with Harry... Xanax and others are helful for many things, such as an extra help on those really bad days; or to take the edge off while adjusting to an anti-depressant.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
