It's more of the dosage I'm currently on 2mg 3xs @day, and no it's actually the perception,I've been told they don't like to write for that particular med due to the strong addiction that comes with it ,which I already have ,like I said they put me on it at age 15 I'm now 54 , I feel I'm being denied my medication due to all the drug problems going on and I've only been living in the area for a year , although my blood work has come back what it should ( is what they say ) my next step is to write a letter to our congressman and or governor of Indiana and see what happens there . I feel this state put me on it and I've been on all these years,this state should continue to keep me on it , I was told I could sue the makers of this drug ,but that won't get me the med I need and as far as changing meds ,it can't happen that fast , I've been told by so many different Drs they have never heard of anyone being on XANEX for this long and at this high of a dose :((( ( my phone may not be displaying my words as written, apologies in advance.

You have to keep in mind that the state didn’t put you on Xanax, the doctors did. Also the DEA is a federal agency not a state agency. The state of Indiana has nothing to do with your prescriptions. Your doctors are the only ones responsible for your medications. As I said doctors are yanking prescriptions in all states. Yes you are on an extreme amount of Xanax. Good luck and God bless.

Why don't you try to wean yourself off them? I did that with cigarettes and the patch. When I got down to the lowest dose, I cut the patches in half and then I cut them in quarters. You could try 2/3 s of a pill for a few weeks and see what happens, if ok then cut the pill in half, etc.
