...a doctor at emerge said to me, my age group, the family and other doctors gave it to us as "unhappy housewife syndrome" although I worked out for a living! Also read somewhere reason doctors didn't take us off but kept prescribing is because they had no Plan in place to help us with withdrawal symptoms! Sad Many years ago I did not have computer to check all this and just kept taking ... NEVER ever asked by family dr. whether or not I was even taking - could have been selling it on the street !! Am sure many meds are similar - not criticizing all Dr. but its for SHORT TERM use not "forever" Ugh

My GP knew I was prescribed 3 mgs. Xanax and 40 mgs. Paxil per day for 25 years. I asked a few times what he thought about the meds and the doses. He always said “you’re not on too much medication you seem to be doing just fine.” So I have two doctors turning me into an addict and now we’re being hung out to dry and treated like street addicts.
