I am so sorry! I wish there was an 'ANGRY' icon to click on....that's what I am.....angry. They take a damn oath to do no harm....and that's exactly what some of them do! They are taught to prescribe pills...that's one thing that medical school teaches them. They usually know NO side-effects, etc., unless a patient has told him (or her). I've found that my best bet for side-effects, if I don't find them online, is to call my pharmacy....speaking to a Pharmacist is always my best bet. How are you doing on your Xanax? Are you still on the 3 mgs. daily? Do you still have this Dr. or have you found another? I know what a hassle it is to find another....I hate doing that. I'm just concerned about you....when you have anxiety....and are wanting to cut down on the drug to treat it, it's a double whammy.....it just makes a person MORE anxious. Please let me know how you're doing. I haven't been on the forum for a while....been wrapped up in cardiologist appts. Geez....I had heart surgery 30 yrs. ago.....and now am being told I will need another....but they want to send me to a cardiologist hospital in Chicago, IL....they said it's too dangerous to try it here, but my God, we have tons of Cardiologists! Well....I go in the hospital this Thurs. for several more tests, then we'll see what's what!! LOL we're supposed to be able to grow older and just ENJOY life!! Anyway, please keep me in the loop....talk at you later. Hugs!
