@ronva2co You are right about Xanax except in some instances, it's the powers that be that are putting limits or not allowing the doctors to prescribe Xanax. I have had to take Xanax for years because I have severe panic attacks (as in think I'm dying and being rushed to the ER). Since this med is a controlled substance, I have had to have bloodwork done four times a year to get my prescription renewal. For years my Dr. could prescribe a 90 day supply, but the last time I could only be given one month's supply at a time. So now I have to get to the pharmacy every month for Xanax, and I get panicky when the bottle is half full. I needed the assurance of three months, but no more. That's a government regulation, not my Dr. I just hope they don't deny my prescription. I can't imagine what my attack would be! My Dr. doesn't want me to suffer; it's the government and Big Pharma.
