I take 1/2 tablet of xanax to shut my mind off or I just lay awake for 3 days sometimes. Then, I went to ABQ, New Mexico for the weekend and my primary sent the script for this medication to ABQ CVS pharmacy and they notified me on my home phone, not my cell phone which if I had received the message, I would have picked it up while there so my son is mailing it to me. AARGH. I do take Tizanidine and it helps me go to sleep along with Seroquel which I do not like to take.
