I’ve been taking Xanax or a generic for about 15 years now. While only on a small daily dose, 2.5, if I miss taking it I feel like I’m jumping out of my skin the next day. Recently, the drugstore refilled my prescription using a different pharmaceutical’s generic and I’m now having numerous vivid dreams every night. After talking to the local pharmacist and googling online, I see there was a recall of my preferred generic last year, but could not find out the reason behind it. It also looks like there may be a shortage of Xanax and it’s generic. This is very upsetting and frustrating, and is motivating me to begin weaning off Xanax and onto something else under the care of my psychiatrist for my generalized anxiety disorder starting by late June. I must admit I’m concerned about sone of the withdrawal experiences others have reported on, especially full blown panic attacks. Any advice much appreciated. This will be my “summer project.”
